Roof survey in Stanwell Moor: what you get
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you are worried about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and worn or blocked valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and lead flashings alike.
In a small place like Stanwell Moor, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Leave it or get it looked at?
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. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stanwell Moor, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Roof surveys around Stanwell Moor
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. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Stanwell Moor has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 4.1 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Town Farm Primary School & Nursery: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Trees in and around Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Let us know about past leaks
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
