About our roof survey in Wallington
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
In a smaller place like Wallington, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Wallington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wallington?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Wallington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wallington
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Homes in smaller places like Wallington can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What you get with us
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Surveys on any day of the week

Prices for roof surveys in Wallington
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- When you need the report by
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
When to book a survey in Wallington
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose chimney pots
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- What experience they bring
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
Landlords, agents and block managers in Wallington
Landlords, agents and building managers in Wallington and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Homes around Wallington often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Local roofs in Wallington
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Wallington, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Anyone responsible for a site like Wykeham House School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Wallington is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Hampshire coverage includes Wallington.
