Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
How a roof survey works in Brook
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 applicable, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Common reasons to book are condensation or damp timbers in the loft and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Brook 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof surveys around Brook
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as King Edward's School Witley, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Witley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Brook can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Brook questions
Do you cover smaller places like Brook?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Brook?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Prices for roof surveys in Brook
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
