About our roof survey in Cuddington
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and debris building up in roof valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Cuddington, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Cuddington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.

Local roofs in Cuddington
The wider area around Cuddington has a long history of building, with Nonsuch Mansion about 0.2 miles north-east. 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. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Dunstan, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Ashley Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Cuddington is about 1 mile east of Ewell, in Surrey. We visit Cuddington as part of our work across Surrey, for homes and businesses alike. Cuddington is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work for roof surveys. There is also a page for London.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When to book a survey in Cuddington
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
Problems we come across often include:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
Take a building like Nonsuch High School for Girls: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- When you will get the report
- What insurance they carry
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cuddington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Cuddington questions
Is Cuddington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
I let a flat near Cheam station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Cuddington?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
