Roof survey in Dora's Green: what you get
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, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We are often asked to look into debris building up in roof valleys and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, on natural slate, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
In a small place like Dora's 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Dora's Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Questions from Dora's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dora's Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Dora's Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Dora's Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Why act early in Dora's Green
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. In a place like Dora's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
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.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Dora's Green homes and their roofs
About 1.7 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Dora's Green has been built on. 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 often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
