- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Roof survey in Nately Scures
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about worn or blocked valleys and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
In a small place like Nately Scures, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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 frequently where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Why act early in Nately Scures
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Nately Scures, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
What you get with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- File the report with your home documents
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
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.
Common roof problems in Nately Scures
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Loose chimney pots
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book any roof surveyor

Local roofs in Nately Scures

Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.

If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St. Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Common questions in Nately Scures
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nately Scures?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

How do I book a survey in Nately Scures?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Nately Scures, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
