What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Stratfield Mortimer, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

About our roof survey in Stratfield Mortimer
We survey roofs in Stratfield Mortimer and across London and the South East. Visits run on any day of the week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and natural slate, and people most frequently book us about worn or blocked valleys and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Stratfield Mortimer may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What we are asked to look at in Stratfield Mortimer
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Torn or sagging underlay
Landlords with a home close to Mortimer station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their report turnaround times
Stratfield Mortimer questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stratfield Mortimer?
Yes, Stratfield Mortimer is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Stratfield Mortimer is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How soon is the report ready?

How do I book a survey in Stratfield Mortimer?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll give you an idea of timing when booking.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
Roof surveys in Stratfield Mortimer: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like Saint John The Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Mortimer St Mary's C.E. Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
