Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Salters Heath
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We’re frequently asked to look into ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, on lead flashings, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

FAQs for Salters Heath
Will you come out to Salters Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Salters Heath?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Salters Heath
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The Vyne, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Salters Heath. 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.
Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take a building like The Priory Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we are asked to look at in Salters Heath
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:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you live in an older home near Pamber Priory, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Why act early in Salters Heath
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. In a small place like Salters Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Salters Heath can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
