- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Burgh Heath can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Roof survey in Burgh Heath
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a close look. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and the roof space, and people most often book us about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Burgh Heath 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. In a small place like Burgh Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Burgh Heath questions
How do I find out if my home in Burgh Heath is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kingswood station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Do you work in Burgh Heath?
Yes, we do. Burgh Heath is part of the area we cover.

What a roof survey looks like in Burgh Heath
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have 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 run a business near The Ashley Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Aberdour School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to St Mary's: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Useful tips for Burgh Heath property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
