How a roof survey works in Coxhill Green
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. If you’ve noticed valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and flat roofs alike.
In a small place like Coxhill Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common roof problems in Coxhill Green
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you live near a park such as Milford Green and Coxhill Green, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Coxhill Green
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Common questions in Coxhill Green
How do I find out if my home in Coxhill Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Coxhill Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Fairoaks Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
