About roof surveys in GU25
We survey roofs in GU25 and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, call 07833 053749 or email us. We survey chimney stacks, lead flashings and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris building up in roof valleys and torn or sagging underlay.
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
What you’ll pay
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

Landmarks near Virginia Water

Virginia Water has its own railway station: Virginia Water station. Well-known places in the area include Spelthorne Museum (3.1 miles north-east) and St. Peter's Hospital (2.5 miles south-east).

Roof surveys across GU25: local notes
GU25 has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked, wherever they are in GU25.
Across London and South East England, older homes often have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Each roof in GU25 is checked with its age and materials in mind.
Virginia Water: For landlords with property near Virginia Water station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. With Botleys Mansion about 2.5 miles south-east, the area around Virginia Water has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Why roofs fail
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Why act early?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey will not cover
When you need someone else
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords, agents and building managers in GU25 and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Keep the report with your property records
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Common questions in GU25
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How do I arrange a roof survey in GU25?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
