How a roof survey works in Mockbeggar
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run seven days a week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles alike.
In a small place like Mockbeggar, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Mockbeggar?
Yes, Mockbeggar is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
What we are asked to look at in Mockbeggar
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose chimney pots
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martins, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Mockbeggar, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mockbeggar
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
In and around Mockbeggar, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
