About our roof survey in Stonehill
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away from the wall and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it, on the roof space, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
Village roofs frequently 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
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 don’t climb up for a closer look.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Stonehill
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Common questions in Stonehill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stonehill?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are there drone restrictions around Stonehill?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Fairoaks Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is Stonehill in your area?
Yes, we do. Stonehill is part of the area we cover.
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 survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Stonehill can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Roof surveys in Stonehill: local notes
Fairoaks Airport is about 2 miles from Stonehill. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 1.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Stonehill goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Salesian School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church like Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Outbuildings and barns around Stonehill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A full building survey of the property
