About our roof survey in Crowhurst
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about debris building up in roof valleys and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Older buildings in small places like Crowhurst may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Crowhurst homes and their roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Crowhurst has a long history of building, with Chartwell about 4.7 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St George, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Crowhurst, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Outbuildings and barns around Crowhurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Prices that include VAT
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Your questions about roof surveys in Crowhurst
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crowhurst?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Crowhurst?
Yes, Crowhurst is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
How do I book a survey in Crowhurst?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Crowhurst

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Leave roof access to professionals
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
How we price roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
Every price we give includes VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- What made you get in touch
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
