How a roof survey works in Grayswood
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, natural slate and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters.
Older buildings in small places like Grayswood may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof surveys around Grayswood
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building like Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
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.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How much does a roof survey cost in Grayswood?

What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A small roof defect typically gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. For an older or listed building in a place like Grayswood, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around Grayswood, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Stay off ladders and the roof
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.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
