About our roof survey in Soldridge
We survey roofs in Soldridge and across London and South East England. Visits run seven days a week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and torn or sagging underlay, we can find out what’s behind it, on clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and natural slate alike.
Somewhere as small as Soldridge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What else we do in Soldridge
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Soldridge, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What you get with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Visits on any day of the week
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

When to book a survey in Soldridge
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.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Good Shepherd, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether the price includes VAT
Useful tips for Soldridge property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Common questions in Soldridge
Is Soldridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Soldridge is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Soldridge listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. 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’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Soldridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
