Roof survey in Langley Vale: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, across lead flashings, flat roofs and the roof space.
Older buildings in small places like Langley Vale 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.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Langley Vale, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Surveys seven days a week
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Roof surveys in Langley Vale: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Fitznells Manor, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Langley Vale goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you live near a park such as Ashtead Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Tattenham Corner station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Common questions in Langley Vale
Can a landlord with a rental near Tattenham Corner station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Langley Vale?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
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.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
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.

- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets

The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

When to book a survey in Langley Vale
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
