Roof Survey in Mogador
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Mogador, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
Roof survey in Mogador: what you get
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run seven days a week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We survey lead flashings, the roof space and natural slate, and people most often book us about gutters that overflow in heavy rain and valley linings that have cracked or split.
Older buildings in small places like Mogador may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we look at them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Prices for roof surveys in Mogador
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mogador can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book us in Mogador
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- An independent view of the roof

Roof surveys around Mogador
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park like Betchworth Quarry and Lime Kilns, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Belfry, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Do you need a roof survey in Mogador?
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What exactly goes into their report
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
How it 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 record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Mogador, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Common questions in Mogador
I let a flat near Reigate station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is Mogador within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How long does the visit take?
The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
