About our roof survey in East Clandon
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We are often asked to look into worn lead at chimneys and abutments and debris building up in roof valleys, across natural slate, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
In a small place like East Clandon, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for East Clandon property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- File the report with your home documents
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Landlord and commercial surveys in East Clandon
Landlords, agents and building managers in East Clandon and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Around East Clandon, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Questions from East Clandon
How do I find out if my home in East Clandon is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like East Clandon?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like East Clandon, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
