Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Sunningdale station. Can you check the roof?

Gutter survey in Brick Hill
Damp patches on inside walls, stains below a valley or water running down the brickwork can often be traced to the gutters. We check whether gutters, outlets or downpipes are the likely source, as far as can be seen safely. Where the cause looks more like the roof covering or a flashing, the report says so, with a suggested next step. If you’ve noticed hoppers and outlets full of debris and valley or box gutters that overflow inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Brick Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

Surveys for landlords and agents in Brick Hill
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Brick Hill homes and their roofs
With Botleys Mansion about 4 miles east, Brick Hill sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Valley End CofE Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as Church of St Saviour are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Trees in and around Gracious Pond shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Why act early in Brick Hill
When a valley or parapet gutter blocks, the water has nowhere safe to go. It can overflow into the building normally during the worst downpours. It is worth having these gutters looked at before the wetter months. Around Brick Hill, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley and is easy to overlook. We check what’s visible and note what isn’t.
Plastic (uPVC) gutters
Many homes have plastic gutters and downpipes. As the seals age, joints can start to drip and brackets may drop under the weight of debris.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Brick Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We ask about overflows, damp or leaks you’ve noticed.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from the ground and vantage points.
- We check hidden gutters, such as valleys and parapets, where it is safe to see them.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, for signs of water getting in.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
