Sheet's Heath homes and their roofs
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live near a park such as Brookwood Lye, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Roof survey in Sheet's Heath: what you get
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. If you’re worried about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Sheet's Heath, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How we price roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
When to book a survey in Sheet's Heath
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
Take a building like Brookwood Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Why act early in Sheet's Heath
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. In a place like Sheet's Heath, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Why book with us
- Visits on any day of the week
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- An independent look at the roof
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Sheet's Heath, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Your questions about roof surveys in Sheet's Heath
Will you come out to Sheet's Heath?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is my home in Sheet's Heath listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Useful tips for Sheet's Heath property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File the report with your home documents
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
