Roof survey in Brick Hill, Surrey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Brick Hill, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Loose chimney pots
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
About our roof survey in Brick Hill
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’re worried about gutters that overflow in heavy rain and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Brick Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brick Hill
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Around Brick Hill, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why us?
- Plain-English reports with photos
- An independent view of the roof
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Signs you need a roof survey in Brick Hill
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Saviour, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Roof surveys around Brick Hill
With Botleys Mansion about 4 miles east, Brick Hill sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live near a park such as Gracious Pond, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Valley End CofE Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Your questions about roof surveys in Brick Hill
How do I find out if my home in Brick Hill is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Brick Hill?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. 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 long will you be at the property?
On site, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Report times depend on the package.
How we price roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Roof area
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Brick Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
