- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Holmwood Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Advice
How a roof survey works in Holmwood Corner
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you are worried about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Holmwood Corner are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Holmwood Corner
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Holmwood 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’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Holmwood Corner?
Yes, Holmwood Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it is safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Holmwood Corner
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Trees in and around Inholms Clay Pit shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Holmwood station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building such as The Weald CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded, as wind can lift them.
