East Molesey Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in East Molesey, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Roof survey in East Molesey
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and worn or blocked valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like East Molesey, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
How we price roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like East Molesey, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Local roofs in East Molesey
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Historic houses like Hampton Court Palace, about 0.7 miles east, show how far back building around East Molesey goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. Landlords with a home close to Hampton Court station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Keep the report with your property records
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Photograph stains when they appear
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
East Molesey questions
Will you come out to East Molesey?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in East Molesey listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to East Molesey is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
