How a roof survey works in Monkwood
We survey roofs in Monkwood and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space alike.
In a village or hamlet like Monkwood, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Monkwood
Is my home in Monkwood listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Monkwood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
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.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Monkwood?
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How quickly will I get the report?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Local roofs in Monkwood
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Hinton Ampner House lies about 4.8 miles west, so building around Monkwood goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

Do you need a roof survey in Monkwood?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
For an older house near a landmark such as Monkwood Mission Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
Your report arrives by email, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Monkwood, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
