About our pre-purchase roof survey in Wentworth
Tall, steep or hidden roofs are hard to judge from the street. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, along with a same-day report. Where a flight is not possible, because of airspace rules or the weather, we tell you and inspect from every other safe vantage point. We survey flat-roofed extensions and dormers, lead flashings and valleys and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing and patch repairs that may hide an ongoing problem.
Somewhere as small as Wentworth, older cottages, farmhouses and converted buildings often sit beside a few newer homes. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

When to book a survey in Wentworth
A chimney stack stands out in the wind and rain. Mortar erodes, the flaunching around the pots cracks and the flashings work loose. On terraced and semi-detached homes, a stack may be shared with next door, which can affect how any work is arranged.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Chimney mortar that has eroded
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Blistered or split felt on a flat roof
- Roof slopes that look uneven or sagging
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Prices for pre-purchase roof surveys in Wentworth
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Wentworth
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Wentworth, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- After your offer is agreed, you book and share your timetable.
- Access to the house and the roof space is agreed in advance.
- We start outside, looking at the roof from ground level and from vantage points.
- Inside, we check the loft space and look at the roof from windows.
- You get a report with photos and recommendations before you exchange.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Anything beyond the roof, which a full home survey covers
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Wentworth
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings and valleys
- Chimney stacks
- Flat-roofed extensions and dormers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Natural slate
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
A lot can be seen 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.

Wentworth: your questions answered
Do you cover Wentworth?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Wentworth is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is Wentworth within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How long does the survey visit take?
The visit usually takes an hour or two at a typical house, with time for the loft where it can be reached. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you need access inside the house?
Where we can, yes. From the roof space we can see staining, timbers and underlay. If we cannot get in, the report says so.
Will the roof report help me negotiate with the seller?
Yes. You might ask for work to be done, ask questions or ask for a change to the price. What the seller agrees to is their decision, so we can’t promise any saving.
Buying a home or a new roof in Wentworth
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
With Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles south-east, the area around Wentworth has a long history. Older homes in the area can come with listed status or conservation area rules, which affect re-roofing, so check with the council before you buy. For landlords with property near Longcross station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
