Roof survey in Beare Green
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages frequently have flat roofs. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a proper look. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Beare Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Beare Green homes and their roofs
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Trees in and around Newdigate Brickworks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe.

Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.

Why act early in Beare Green
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Beare Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.

Common roof problems in Beare Green
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Torn or sagging underlay
Take a building like The Weald CofE Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

FAQs for Beare Green
Is Beare Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in Beare Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It’s emailed to you.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
