Well Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Well. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Loose chimney pots
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Well can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- 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.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

How a roof survey works in Well
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you’re worried about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Well 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
What affects the price in Well
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Roof surveys around Well
Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Well. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. RAF Odiham is about 2 miles from Well. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Lord Wandsworth College will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Well
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Common questions in Well
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Well?
Yes, Well is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Signs you need a roof survey in Well
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose chimney pots
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
For an older house near a landmark such as Lord Wandsworth College Chapel, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor

- Their track record with similar roofs
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

What you can safely check yourself
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
