Roof survey in Mindenhurst
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, across flat roofs, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.
Common roof problems in Mindenhurst
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
If you own a rental within reach of Farnborough North station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Mindenhurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.

What a roof survey looks like in Mindenhurst
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Homes near green spaces like Frimley Lodge Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

FAQs for Mindenhurst
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Farnborough North station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Mindenhurst listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
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.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
