Roof survey in Pyrford
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and lead flashings, and people most often book us about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Around Pyrford, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What a roof survey does not cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Pyrford. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Pyrford
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We check them before they cause trouble. In an older home around Pyrford, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Parking around Pyrford 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 applicable.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Questions from Pyrford
Will you come out to Pyrford?
Yes. Pyrford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Pyrford?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How do I book a survey in Pyrford?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Pyrford homes and their roofs
Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles from Pyrford. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Byfleet Manor, about 2.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pyrford. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Good Shepherd, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Living close to White Rose Lane is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
