Flat and commercial roofs around Tuesley
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. About 3.4 miles north lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Tuesley has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Milford (Surrey) station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you look after a building like Godalming College, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How electronic leak detection works in Tuesley
ELD suits many waterproofing membranes on flat roofs over offices, units, blocks of flats and homes. It can be used to trace an existing leak or to test a new membrane before it is covered. Each roof is quoted on its size and build-up. Testing can be carried out on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays, depending on the weather. Let us know about your roof to find out more. If you’ve noticed leaking laps in the waterproofing and damage from equipment installers, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Tuesley take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Tuesley
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Have roof specifications to hand
- Don’t keep patching the same spot
- Note where leaks show inside and when
You receive a report showing where each breach was found, with photographs. Your roofer uses it to carry out repairs.
Act on leaks quickly. The longer water gets in, the more insulation and decking can be affected.
Roof by roof
Inverted and paved roofs
On inverted roofs, insulation sits above the membrane, which affects testing.
Green and ballasted roofs
Green roofs and ballasted roofs cover the waterproofing. Some methods can work through these layers, depending on the build-up.
What affects the price in Tuesley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Every price we give includes VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
FAQs for Tuesley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tuesley?
Yes, Tuesley is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tuesley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes a length of time set by the size of the roof and how it’s built, which we set out in the quote. Somewhere as small as Tuesley, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the area to be tested.
- We get the roof ready for testing.
- Testing runs across the agreed area.
- Each breach found is located and recorded.
- The report is sent for your roofer to act on.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
