Roof Survey in Epsom
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out roof surveys in Epsom, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Let us know about past leaks
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
Roof survey in Epsom: what you get
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the roof 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. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you’re worried about standing water on a flat roof and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on the roof space, lead flashings and natural slate alike.
In a town like Epsom, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. Small faults, like a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon. The photos let you see the parts of the roof you can’t get to.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How we price roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What’s prompted the survey
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Most visits in a town like Epsom start at the front of the house and work round to the back. Rear gardens and side paths frequently give the best view of extensions and back slopes, so unlocked gates help. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a roof survey looks like in Epsom
About 1.3 miles north-east lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Epsom has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Barnabas Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you run a business near The Ashley Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Living close to Epsom Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Epsom is about 12 miles south of Kensington, in Surrey. Surveys in Epsom work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at what can be seen safely, photographs and a clear written report. Our Surrey coverage includes Epsom. London is in our area too.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Epsom
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What a roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)

FAQs for Epsom
Do you carry out roof surveys in Epsom?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Epsom as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Epsom 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. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
