Roof survey in Matchams
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including 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. Every package includes a written report. If you’re worried about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Matchams are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Matchams questions
Will you come out to Matchams?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Matchams?
Yes, Matchams is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Matchams as anywhere else.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Matchams
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.

What else we do in Matchams
What happens if roof problems are left?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. In a small place like Matchams, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Why us?
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Matchams 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. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Local roofs in Matchams
About 3.6 miles east lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Matchams has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Trees in and around Avon Heath Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

How we price roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
