Roof survey in Wildmoor: what you get
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 helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’ve noticed gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and flashings that have come away from the wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Wildmoor, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wildmoor
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 calling someone out after a storm. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wildmoor can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- A written report with photographs
- Surveys seven days a week
- An independent view of the roof

Wildmoor: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wildmoor?
Yes, Wildmoor is covered. We cover the whole of 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 survey roofs for landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wildmoor
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Wildmoor goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Festival Place, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Leonard, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Wildmoor can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
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:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
