What a roof survey looks like in Hook Common
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Hook Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Roof survey in Hook Common
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. If you’ve noticed valley linings that have cracked or split and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Hook Common: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Hook station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Hook Common?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.

Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.

What else we do in Hook Common
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Hook Common
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Hook Common can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
