Roof survey in Deepcut, Surrey
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Deepcut, with photographs and a written report.
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Deepcut
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Deepcut, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check

- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Chimney stacks
Do you need a roof survey in Deepcut?
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Living close to Frimley Lodge Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

FAQs for Deepcut
Will you come out to Deepcut?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Farnborough North station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, 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.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Parking around Deepcut is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Roof surveys in Deepcut: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Farnborough North station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
