About our roof survey in Byfleet
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We are often asked to look into lifted, split or missing lead flashings and torn or sagging underlay, across flat roofs, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
Around Byfleet, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about roof surveys in Byfleet
How do I find out if my home in Byfleet is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Byfleet?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
When to book a survey in Byfleet
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Trees in and around Manor Farm shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. In a smaller place like Byfleet, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for the job before booking.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a smaller place like Byfleet, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Local roofs in Byfleet
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
