Roof survey in Peper Harow
Our roof surveys cover Peper Harow and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey natural slate, the roof space and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn or blocked valleys and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Peper Harow may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Peper Harow, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Peper Harow
Is my home in Peper Harow listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
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. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- The roof space

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Peper Harow
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 3 miles north lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Peper Harow has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house 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 Church of St Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

When to book a survey in Peper Harow
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
Living close to Elstead Group of Commons is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Before you book anyone
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Around Peper Harow, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
