Our roof survey service in RH9
Our roof surveys cover RH9 and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. 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 use the contact form. Typical surveys look at loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, across flat roofs, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys.
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- 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.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.

Homes and roofs across RH9
Across RH9, from Holmethorpe, Godstone and Blindley Heath outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are normally where the work is.
We survey roofs across London and South East England, and RH9 is part of that. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.
Godstone: If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Titsey Place lies about 4.1 miles north-east, so building around Godstone goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Natural slate
Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
Prices for roof surveys in RH9
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- File the report with your home documents
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Let us know about past leaks
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
RH9 questions
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Do you work in RH9?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, RH9 included.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
