How a roof survey works in Shottermill
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Common reasons to book are debris building up in roof valleys and loose chimney pots, on clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space.
Around Shottermill, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Shottermill
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Homes in smaller places like Shottermill can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Shottermill
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as St. Stephen's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Camelsdale Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

FAQs for Shottermill
Will you come out to Shottermill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Haslemere station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.

What else we do in Shottermill
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Shottermill is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
