How a roof survey works in Mayford
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey flat roofs, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles, and people most frequently book us about leaking gutter joints and downpipes and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Mayford, 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 often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- A structural engineer’s report
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Mayford homes and their roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near The Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you live near a park such as Mayford Meadows, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. Take an older house close to St Mark's Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That’s why we check them closely.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Your questions about roof surveys in Mayford
Can a landlord with a rental near Worplesdon station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Mayford?
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 booking.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How long does the visit take?
The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
