Roof Survey in Hog Hatch
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Hog Hatch, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hog Hatch
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Around Hog Hatch, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Packages from £150, including VAT

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hog Hatch
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them frequently give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We survey clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are condensation or damp timbers in the loft and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
In a smaller place like Hog Hatch, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Hog Hatch, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Roof surveys around Hog Hatch
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near St Mark the Evangelist Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

If you live near a park such as Weybourne LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Your questions about roof surveys in Hog Hatch
Is Hog Hatch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Farnham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Hog Hatch?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
