Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dunsfold
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you are worried about worn or blocked valleys and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
How we price roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- House, block, shop or office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
We offer 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.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them. Outbuildings and barns around Dunsfold are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before you book.
Why book with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Signs you need a roof survey in Dunsfold
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
For landlords with property near Witley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Roof surveys in Dunsfold: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
If you live near a park such as Fir Tree Copse, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and All Saints: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

FAQs for Dunsfold
Will you come out to Dunsfold?
Yes, Dunsfold is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Dunsfold?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Rural addresses near Dunsfold can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
