Roof survey in Welham Green: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey flat roofs, natural slate and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are debris building up in roof valleys and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Welham Green drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about roof surveys in Welham Green
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Welham Green be checked too?
It’s often worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Will you come out to Welham Green?
Yes, Welham Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.

What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Welham Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. 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.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
What a roof survey looks like in Welham Green
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 1.8 miles north lies Hatfield House, a reminder of how long the area around Welham Green has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Welham Green station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Useful tips for Welham Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Why it is worth a survey now in Welham Green
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Blocked gutters on homes around Welham Green overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
