Roof survey in Hook
Our roof surveys cover Hook and the wider South East. Visits run seven days a week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Common reasons to book are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and loose ridge or hip tiles, on lead flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a smaller place like Hook, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Parking around Hook is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Advice
What we’re asked to look at in Hook
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How we price roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

Roof surveys in Hook: local notes
Stratfield Saye House, about 4.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hook. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hook Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to St John the Evangelist: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Common questions in Hook
Do you cover smaller places like Hook?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
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 email us with the address and what you need.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
