Roof survey in Newfound: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’re worried about debris building up in roof valleys and cracked mortar along the ridge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs alike.
Somewhere as small as Newfound, 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 frequently 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 written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Newfound
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Newfound needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, 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 we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Signs you need a roof survey in Newfound
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Debris building up in roof valleys
For businesses in and around places such as The Malls, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Newfound
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 4.8 miles north-east lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Newfound has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Oakley Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near St John's, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Your questions about roof surveys in Newfound
Is Newfound within the area you cover?
Yes. Newfound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Newfound is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
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.
