- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
Roof by roof
Valleys
Lead or other valley linings should be laid and lapped neatly as far as safe access allows.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
New roof snagging in Tilford Reeds
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed underlay ending short at the eaves and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
Some older homes in villages like Tilford Reeds are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Tilford Reeds

- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gutters blocked by building debris

Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their report turnaround times
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Around Tilford Reeds, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking before the day

Common questions in Tilford Reeds
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tilford Reeds?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Tilford Reeds within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work, and you may want legal advice for that.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I book a survey in Tilford Reeds?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
