How a roof survey works in RH7
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Typical surveys look at lifted, split or missing lead flashings and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across RH7
Owners across RH7, from Lingfield, Dormansland and Blindley Heath to the villages, book us to find out where their roof stands. A report helps you sort small faults before they let water in.
Even in the South East, autumn and winter storms find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In RH7, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.
Lingfield: Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. With Hammerwood Park about 4.5 miles south-east, the area around Lingfield has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Common roof problems in RH7
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Standing water on a flat roof
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
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.
Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
Questions from RH7
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It is emailed to you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
