Your questions about roof surveys in Mattingley
How do I find out if my home in Mattingley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Mattingley?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
About our roof survey in Mattingley
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a careful look. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Mattingley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What we are asked to look at in Mattingley
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Debris building up in roof valleys
With Stratfield Saye House about 3.1 miles north-west, the area around Mattingley has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What experience they bring
- What the survey won’t cover
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Why get it checked now?
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around Mattingley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, 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 written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Mattingley homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Hook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Mattingley Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is often nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
