About roof surveys in KT6
Our roof surveys cover KT6 and the wider South East. Visits run seven days a week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’re often asked to look into worn lead at chimneys and abutments and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, across flat roofs, natural slate and lead flashings.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roof surveys across KT6: local notes
Homes across KT6 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later, wherever they are in KT6.
Several airports in London and the South East have flight restriction zones around them, so every drone flight in KT6 is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it is given.
Surbiton: For businesses in and around places like Bentall Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lime Tree Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What we’re asked to look at in KT6
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Look out for signs like these:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A structural engineer’s report
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Photograph stains when they appear
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We look for the likely route in.
Your questions about roof surveys in KT6
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How much does a roof survey cost in KT6?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
