Roof survey in Shepperton Green: what you get
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We survey lead flashings, natural slate and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and standing water on a flat roof.
Around Shepperton Green, 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, and moss holds water against tiles. 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 doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What affects the price in Shepperton Green
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Let us know about past leaks
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

When to book a survey in Shepperton Green
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary Magdalene, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What we do, step by step
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. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Shepperton Green does not change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Shepperton Green
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.6 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Shepperton Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live near a park such as Penton Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Shepperton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Shepperton Green questions
Will you come out to Shepperton Green?
Yes. Shepperton Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shepperton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
