How we price roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wrecclesham
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
Around Wrecclesham, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- A full building survey of the property
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Wrecclesham
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. With lower homes, common in places like Wrecclesham, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Common questions in Wrecclesham
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wrecclesham?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Is Wrecclesham in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Wrecclesham included.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What we’re asked to look at in Wrecclesham
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is frequently mistaken for a leak.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose chimney pots
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Living close to Underdown nature reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their track record with similar roofs
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Wrecclesham is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
