Roof survey in Ansteadbrook
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you’ve noticed crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Ansteadbrook, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we’re asked to look at in Ansteadbrook
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
Around Ansteadbrook, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What a roof survey looks like in Ansteadbrook
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Questions from Ansteadbrook
Is my home in Ansteadbrook listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Ansteadbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Ansteadbrook is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it normally takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Ansteadbrook?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What affects the price in Ansteadbrook
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- An exact number of years the roof has left

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Ansteadbrook, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
