Roof Survey in Seale
Roof surveys in Seale from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
About our roof survey in Seale
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about valley linings that have cracked or split and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Some older homes in villages like Seale are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs in Seale
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
With Wanborough Manor about 2.4 miles east, the area around Seale has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. We tell you what’s really needed. Older and listed buildings around Seale may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Seale, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Seale: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Seale?
Yes, Seale is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Ash station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Do you need a roof survey in Seale?
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Loose chimney pots
Landlords with a home close to Ash station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
