Roof Survey in New Haw
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in New Haw, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Loose chimney pots
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around New Haw is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey

About our roof survey in New Haw
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. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We’re often asked to look into loose chimney pots and valley linings that have cracked or split, on the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
In a smaller place like New Haw, homes range from older cottages to 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. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Local roofs in New Haw
Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles from New Haw. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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.
Take an older house close to All Saints Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you look after a building such as The Grange Community Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

New Haw questions
Is drone flying allowed in New Haw?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
I let a flat near Byfleet & New Haw station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.

Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Landlord and commercial surveys in New Haw
Landlords and letting agents in New Haw book surveys as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What affects the price in New Haw
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Arranging work in a smaller place like New Haw is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
