Common questions in Munstead Heath
Is Munstead Heath within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
About our roof survey in Munstead Heath
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, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We are often asked to look into torn or sagging underlay and loose chimney pots, across the roof space, chimney stacks and natural slate.
Somewhere as small as Munstead Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Roof surveys around Munstead Heath
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 3 miles north lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Munstead Heath has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Godalming station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is frequently nail fatigue, and we say how widespread it looks.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Munstead Heath
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
When to book a survey in Munstead Heath
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Loose chimney pots
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
If you look after a building like Busbridge Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
