Rushmoor questions
Will you come out to Rushmoor?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnham station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Rushmoor
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it is easy to find a day that suits. Typical surveys look at cracked mortar along the ridge and loose chimney pots, across chimney stacks, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Rushmoor, 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. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A full building survey of the property
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Rushmoor
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Rushmoor, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Roof surveys in Rushmoor: local notes
About 4.8 miles north-west lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Rushmoor has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Farnham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live near a park such as The Flashes, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Rushmoor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
