Questions from High Brooms
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near High Brooms station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is High Brooms within the area you cover?
Yes. High Brooms is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.

How a roof survey works in High Brooms
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and valley linings that have cracked or split.
Around High Brooms, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
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.

What else we do in High Brooms
What we’re asked to look at in High Brooms
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
Homes near green spaces such as Hilbert Woods can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What happens after the report arrives
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like High Brooms, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Why it is worth a survey now in High Brooms
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like High Brooms, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

How we price roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
- What made you get in touch
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Keep the report with your property records
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
