About our roof survey in Egham Hythe
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs 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 it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are valley linings that have cracked or split and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Egham Hythe drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts with the stack outside. We look for the likely route in.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to a smaller place like Egham Hythe is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Egham Hythe questions
Will you come out to Egham Hythe?
Yes. Egham Hythe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Egham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.

Are you insured?

Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much does a roof survey cost in Egham Hythe?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Egham Hythe homes and their roofs
The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport comes within about 2 miles of Egham Hythe. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. Historic houses like Botleys Mansion, about 3.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Egham Hythe goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building like Thorpe Lea Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Egham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Paul's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
