About our roof survey in Thursley
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about worn or blocked valleys and loose ridge or hip tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Thursley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often 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 normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
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.
Roof surveys around Thursley
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Witley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Thursley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
