Loxhill Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Loxhill. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File the report with your home documents
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Roof survey in Loxhill: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and standing water on a flat roof, across chimney stacks, lead flashings and the roof space.
Some older homes in villages like Loxhill 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Why get it checked now?
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loxhill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Loxhill
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Witley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Loxhill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Loxhill: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Witley station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Loxhill?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Loxhill?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you work in Loxhill?
Yes. We survey roofs in Loxhill and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Chimney stacks
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
What affects the price in Loxhill
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
