How a roof survey works in Ewhurst Green
We survey roofs in Ewhurst Green and across London and South East England. Visits run seven days a week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Common reasons to book are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Ewhurst Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check how the covering is wearing.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
Questions from Ewhurst Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ockley station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Ewhurst Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Local roofs in Ewhurst Green
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For landlords with property near Ockley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park such as Sayer's Croft LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older roofs in small places like Ewhurst Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep the report with your property records
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Signs you need a roof survey in Ewhurst Green
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
Anyone responsible for a site like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What we cannot see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
