Prices for roof surveys in Charing Hill
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window

Roof survey in Charing Hill: what you get
Our roof surveys cover Charing Hill and the wider South East. Visits run on any day of the week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away from the wall and debris building up in roof valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Charing Hill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Charing Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away

Advice
When you need someone else
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What a roof survey looks like in Charing Hill
Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 4.2 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Charing Hill goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Living close to Spuckles and Kennelling Woods is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

FAQs for Charing Hill
Is my home in Charing Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Charing Hill?
Yes, Charing Hill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Why act early in Charing Hill
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Common roof problems in Charing Hill
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
Take a building like Charing Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
