What affects the cost of roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
About our roof survey in Thedden
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 seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. Typical surveys look at cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and torn or sagging underlay, on chimney stacks, natural slate and lead flashings.
In a small place like Thedden, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Roof surveys in Thedden: local notes
Thedden is about 3 miles from Lasham Airfield. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Bentworth Hall, about 1 mile west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Thedden. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For landlords with property near Alton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Amery Hill School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Signs you need a roof survey in Thedden
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
The streets around a church like St Peter's are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Your questions about roof surveys in Thedden
Is my home in Thedden listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Thedden?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Thedden may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Thedden, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
