Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Perham Down
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. 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. Felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved.
Some older homes in villages like Perham Down are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Perham Down can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- 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 photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

FAQs for Perham Down
I let a flat near Grateley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Perham Down?
Yes, Perham Down is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
What we are asked to look at in Perham Down
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their report turnaround times
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Perham Down
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Older and listed buildings around Perham Down may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

Perham Down homes and their roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as The Wellington Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
