- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Addlestone
We survey roofs in Addlestone and across London and South East England. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at torn or sagging underlay and cracked mortar along the ridge, on natural slate, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles.
Around Addlestone, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report does not 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.

What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Addlestone is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, 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 photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Signs you need a roof survey in Addlestone
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
Anyone responsible for a site like Darley Dene Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Addlestone
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 1.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Addlestone goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Trees in and around Woburn Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Paul's, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Questions from Addlestone
I let a flat near Addlestone station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Addlestone listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Addlestone?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Addlestone
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
