Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woolmer
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
In a small place like Woolmer, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Questions from Woolmer
How do I find out if my home in Woolmer is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Woolmer within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How much does a roof survey cost in Woolmer?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
We will usually ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Woolmer
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Matthew's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

When to book a survey in Woolmer
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn or blocked valleys
Landlords with a home close to Liss station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Are they insured for the work?
The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Woolmer, 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.
- 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.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
