Why it’s worth a survey now in Grayshott
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Around Grayshott, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Roof survey in Grayshott
Our roof surveys cover Grayshott and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. 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. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’ve noticed valley linings that have cracked or split and flashings that have come away from the wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, the roof space and natural slate alike.
In a smaller place like Grayshott, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a roof survey looks like in Grayshott
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

A visit to Grayshott is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.

Prices for roof surveys in Grayshott
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:

- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Common questions in Grayshott
How do I find out if my home in Grayshott is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Grayshott?
Yes, Grayshott is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Common roof problems in Grayshott
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Common reasons to book include:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
If you look after a building such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
