Roof survey in West Green
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey lead flashings, the roof space and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Some older homes in villages like West Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Common questions in West Green
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
Yes, West Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in West Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.

Useful tips for West Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- File the report with your home documents
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near West Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Signs you need a roof survey in West Green
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Landlords with a home close to Winchfield station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
West Green homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Stratfield Saye House, about 4.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West Green. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
