Questions from Mindenhurst
Is Mindenhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mindenhurst?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
How do I book a survey in Mindenhurst?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mindenhurst
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked gutters over flats and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Older buildings in small places like Mindenhurst may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Why act early in Mindenhurst
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mindenhurst can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Mindenhurst needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mindenhurst
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Farnborough North station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Trees in and around Frimley Lodge Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
