Your questions about roof surveys in Hound Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Hook station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is Hound Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Hound Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Hound Green?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
About our roof survey in Hound Green
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’ve noticed leaking gutter joints and downpipes and worn or blocked valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Hound Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hound Green
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. In a small place like Hound Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Hound Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Roof surveys around Hound Green
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Stratfield Saye House lies about 2.4 miles north-west, so building around Hound Green goes back a long way. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

What we’re asked to look at in Hound Green
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Take an older house close to Mattingley Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
