Roof survey in Camberley
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there is safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Around Camberley, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. We can only inspect what we have access to, so shared parts are reported as far as they can safely be seen. It helps to mention any shared stacks or gutters as you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Camberley
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
What else we do in Camberley
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Camberley: your questions answered
I let a flat near Camberley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Camberley?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you work in Camberley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Camberley.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In Camberley, parking is rarely complicated, though it’s useful to know about driveways or restrictions. The inspection covers whatever is safely visible from outside, from windows and from the roof space.

When to book a survey in Camberley
Slates and tiles frequently outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose chimney pots
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you let a flat or house near Camberley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Will the report include photos?
Roof surveys in Camberley: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. 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. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Trees in and around Tekels Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
