How a roof survey works in KT11
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We are frequently asked to look into lifted, split or missing lead flashings and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, on ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and the roof space.
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.

- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.

Roof surveys across KT11: local notes
In KT11, our roof surveys work takes in owners, landlords and managing agents, in Cobham, Oxshott and East Horsley and well beyond. Each report sets out what was seen, with photos and recommendations.
We survey roofs across London and South East England, and KT11 is part of that. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.
Cobham: Landlords with a home close to Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Andrew's CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Common roof problems in KT11
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Look out for signs like these:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.
Useful tips for KT11 property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- File the report with your home documents
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
