The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Enton Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Roof survey in Enton Green
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’re worried about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Enton Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Roof surveys around Enton Green
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 4.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Enton Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Rodborough Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Enton Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Enton Green?
Yes, Enton Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Enton Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much does a roof survey cost in Enton Green?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up 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.

Why it is worth a survey now in Enton Green
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. For an older or listed building in a place like Enton Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What we are asked to look at in Enton Green

- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Worn or blocked valleys
