About our roof survey in Bletchingley
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Common reasons to book are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, across clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Bletchingley are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Bletchingley, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
When to book a survey in Bletchingley
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Loose chimney pots
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
If you look after a building such as Bletchingley Village Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their insurance cover
FAQs for Bletchingley
Are there drone restrictions around Bletchingley?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 1 mile of Bletchingley. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Nutfield station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
How long does the visit take?
The visit usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Useful tips for Bletchingley property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.

Why it is worth a survey now in Bletchingley
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Outbuildings and barns around Bletchingley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bletchingley
The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 1 mile of Bletchingley. If the drone is used for your survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you live near a park like Kitchen Copse, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Nutfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
