Roof Survey in Pinewood Village
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Pinewood Village, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Call or email for a price.
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Homes around Pinewood Village frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- 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 written report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Pinewood Village
Everything we check, we check safely: 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. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and people most frequently book us about flashings that have come away from the wall and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Around Pinewood Village, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Keep the report with your property records
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Pinewood Village
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Pinewood Village: your questions answered
Will you come out to Pinewood Village?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, 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 insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What affects the price in Pinewood Village
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What we are asked to look at in Pinewood Village
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Debris building up in roof valleys
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Bordon Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their insurance cover
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
