How a roof survey works in Reigate
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and standing water on a flat roof.
Most homes in a town like Reigate are houses, so the roof is typically the owner’s to look after. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. The report sets out what needs attention, prioritised by urgency where relevant, whether you live in the house or let it. Photographs show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you cannot reach yourself.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.

- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.
Why act early in Reigate
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Reigate, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That’s an extra cost on top of the roof work itself.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Reigate: your questions answered
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Reigate?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Reigate is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Can a landlord with a rental near Reigate station book a roof survey?
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.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: 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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Reigate
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Reigate station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Trees in and around Castle Grounds shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Reigate often share a roof line with the neighbours, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
