Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mapledurwell
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, on natural slate, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Mapledurwell may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Mapledurwell can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- 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.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- File the report with your home documents
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mapledurwell
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Hook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Signs you need a roof survey in Mapledurwell
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’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Standing water on a flat roof
The Vyne, about 4.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mapledurwell. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
