Prices for roof surveys in Stoughton
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Roof survey in Stoughton: what you get
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about flashings that have come away from the wall and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and the roof space alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Stoughton drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Useful tips for Stoughton property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Leave roof access to professionals
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
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.
Common questions in Stoughton
I let a flat near Guildford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
How do I find out if my home in Stoughton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a 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.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Why act early in Stoughton
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Homes in smaller places like Stoughton can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Every finding written up with photos
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)

Roof surveys in Stoughton: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Guildford Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, Stoughton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoughton Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church such as Emmanuel Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Guildford station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Widespread slipping typically points to corroded nails, which we describe in the report.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof.
