How a roof survey works in Nutcombe
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, like moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and standing water on a flat roof, across the roof space, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
In a small place like Nutcombe, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about roof surveys in Nutcombe
How do I find out if my home in Nutcombe is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Haslemere station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How much does a roof survey cost in Nutcombe?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When you need someone else
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Nutcombe, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book

What else we do in Nutcombe
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
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.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
When to book a survey in Nutcombe
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, especially near trees.
Look out for signs like these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Roof surveys in Nutcombe: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Amesbury School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
