Roof survey in Ockford Ridge
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them frequently give out sooner. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We are frequently asked to look into torn or sagging underlay and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across the roof space, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Ockford Ridge 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ockford Ridge, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

How we price roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. These are the things that affect it:

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
When to book a survey in Ockford Ridge
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts at the top of the stack.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If you own a rental within reach of Milford (Surrey) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
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 between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Ockford Ridge can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know 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 each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away

What a roof survey looks like in Ockford Ridge
With Loseley Park about 4.1 miles north, Ockford Ridge sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Living close to Rodborough Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
