Roof survey in Mayes Green
Our roof surveys cover Mayes Green and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Typical surveys look at slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, across flat roofs, natural slate and lead flashings.
Somewhere as small as Mayes Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds 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.

What a roof survey looks like in Mayes Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Landlords with a home close to Ockley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Wallis Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Your questions about roof surveys in Mayes Green
Is Mayes Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Mayes Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Mayes Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing is not part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Do you need a roof survey in Mayes Green?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What insurance they carry
- When you’ll get the report
- What happens after the report arrives
Leave it or get it looked at?
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mayes Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
All our prices include VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Mayes Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
