Roof survey in Dawesgreen
We survey roofs in Dawesgreen and across London and South East England. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and cracked mortar along the ridge.
Some older homes in villages like Dawesgreen are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Dawesgreen
Is Dawesgreen within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Betchworth station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How much does a roof survey cost in Dawesgreen?
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.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Report times depend on the package.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, especially at the verges and ridge.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dawesgreen can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Dawesgreen can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price

Related advice
What a roof survey looks like in Dawesgreen
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Dawesgreen is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. If your survey includes the drone, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying.
Take a building like Burys Court School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Betchworth station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
