Roof survey in Bisley: what you get
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar along the ridge and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, on clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and flat roofs.
Around Bisley, 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 frequently need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
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, and what we’d suggest next.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bisley
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own a rental within reach of Brookwood station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Living close to Bisley and West End Commons is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

FAQs for Bisley
Will you come out to Bisley?
Yes, Bisley is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Brookwood station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Why get it checked now?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. Homes in smaller places like Bisley can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Bisley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.
How we price roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Useful tips for Bisley property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- File the report with your home documents
- Leave roof access to professionals
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
