Questions from Lingfield
Will you come out to Lingfield?
Yes, Lingfield is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Lingfield in the area you cover?
Yes, Lingfield is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Lingfield as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How do I book a survey in Lingfield?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
New roof snagging in Lingfield
Roof work often leaves debris behind. Offcuts, broken tiles and debris left in gutters or on lower roofs are noted along with any damage to other parts of the property. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. Finding these early makes them easier to raise. Common reasons to book are tiles or slates sitting out of line and untidy or loose verge details, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
Houses in smaller places like Lingfield can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. Wind lifts anything already loose, so a small fault on an exposed roof doesn’t stay small for long.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to a smaller place like Lingfield is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Common roof problems in Lingfield
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Poorly finished verges
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Buying a home or a new roof in Lingfield
Historic houses like Hammerwood Park, about 4.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Lingfield goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
If you own a rental within reach of Lingfield station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
