About our roof survey in St George's Hill
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. 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. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We are often asked to look into leaking gutter joints and downpipes and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs.
Trees around homes in smaller places like St George's Hill drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into 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 ground level.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

St George's Hill questions
How do I find out if my home in St George's Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to St George's Hill?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

St George's Hill homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around St George's Hill has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 2.2 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Anyone responsible for a site like Manby Lodge Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as United Reform Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What we do, step by step

Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.

Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

Common roof problems in St George's Hill
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Torn or sagging underlay
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before you book anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. In an older home around St George's Hill, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
