Roof Survey in Woodgreen
A careful look at the roof at your property in Woodgreen, with photos and a written report.
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Woodgreen, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Roof survey in Woodgreen: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and flashings that have come away from the wall.
Older buildings in small places like Woodgreen may be 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Why act early in Woodgreen
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. For older village homes like those around Woodgreen, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
How we price roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

Roof surveys around Woodgreen
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Breamore Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Breamore House, about 1.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woodgreen. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. For an older house near a landmark such as St Boniface, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Woodgreen: your questions answered
Is Woodgreen within the area you cover?
Yes, Woodgreen is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Woodgreen in the area you cover?
Yes, Woodgreen is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Woodgreen as anywhere else.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
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’s emailed to you.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
