Roof survey in Chertsey
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Chertsey drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.

Roof surveys in Chertsey: local notes
Historic houses like Botleys Mansion, about 1.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Chertsey goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Anne's Catholic Primary 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 Church of St Peter: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Living close to Woburn Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Chertsey is about 6 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. We survey roofs in Chertsey and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Surrey. Guildford is in our area too.
Postcode districts we cover here for roof surveys: KT16 and KT15. Whether your property is on Station Road, Charles Street and King Street or a nearby road, we can survey it.

We also work in nearby towns like Guildford (10 miles south), Woking (6 miles south-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (11 miles east), Ewell (11 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north-west).
Around Chertsey

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Being in a smaller place like Chertsey does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

FAQs for Chertsey
How do I find out if my home in Chertsey is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Chertsey station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Is this a RICS 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?
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.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
How long does the visit take?
Allow an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
