About roof surveys in KT8
We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We’re often asked to look into ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, on flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks.
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.
- 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 is safe access.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

Roof surveys across KT8: local notes
Owners across KT8, from Esher, Molesey and West Molesey to the villages, book us to find out where their roof stands. Small faults, caught early, are far easier to deal with.
From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. Roofs in KT8 are part of that picture.
Molesey: Take a building like The Orchard Infant School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Trees in and around Cigarette Island Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Landlords, agents and block managers in KT8
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Why roofs fail
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing of any kind
Your questions about roof surveys in KT8
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you work in KT8?
Yes. We survey roofs in KT8 and the rest of Surrey. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How do I arrange a roof survey in KT8?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
