About our roof survey in Frimley
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you’re worried about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, on lead flashings, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
In a town like Frimley, older houses with slate or clay tile roofs normally sit alongside later estates with concrete tiles. Older homes frequently keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Newer homes have fewer chimneys but their own weak points at ridges, verges and gutters.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Frimley
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you look after a building such as Lakeside Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near Frimley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Why act early in Frimley
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. On a house in a town like Frimley, wet loft insulation stops working and can stay damp for a long time. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Frimley questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Frimley station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
Is Frimley in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Frimley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Parking in a town like Frimley is usually simple, but let us know if there’s a driveway or any restrictions. We look at the roof from the ground and from windows, then from the loft where there is safe access, and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly, and they can crack.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Frimley
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What else we do in Frimley
What we are asked to look at in Frimley
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
If you live in an older home near St. Peter's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
