Roof survey in Flexford: what you get
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. 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 applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey chimney stacks, lead flashings and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or sagging underlay and worn or blocked valleys.
In a small place like Flexford, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we check them closely.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Flexford
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Landlords and agents in Flexford book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- File the report with your home documents
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
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.
Flexford: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wanborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is my home in Flexford 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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Is Flexford in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Flexford and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Flexford
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Around Flexford, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Flexford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What a roof survey looks like in Flexford
With Wanborough Manor about 0.8 miles south-east, Flexford sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Wyke Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Wanborough station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to Church of St Bartholomew: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
