Roof survey in Vernham Dean: what you get
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 and at weekends, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and torn or sagging underlay, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Vernham Dean are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

FAQs for Vernham Dean
Is my home in Vernham Dean listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Vernham Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, Vernham Dean is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s emailed to you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather

Why it is worth a survey now in Vernham Dean
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and our case studies.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Vernham Dean, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Vernham Dean homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
