Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mytchett
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’re worried about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings alike.
Around Mytchett, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
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, whichever applies.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Mytchett, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Mytchett, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Roof surveys around Mytchett
Mytchett is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. About 4.9 miles south-east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Mytchett has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Mytchett Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Farnborough North station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
What we’re asked to look at in Mytchett
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Andrew, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their report turnaround times
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
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.

Questions from Mytchett
Is Mytchett within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Are there drone restrictions around Mytchett?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Mytchett is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
