What a roof survey looks like in Sunnymeads
The wider area around Sunnymeads has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 1.6 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Sunnymeads is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. If your survey includes the drone, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying.
Landlords with a home close to Sunnymeads station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Sunnymeads is about 3 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. We cover Sunnymeads and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. Our Surrey coverage includes Sunnymeads and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sunnymeads
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Older buildings in small places like Sunnymeads may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Why get it checked now?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. In a small place like Sunnymeads, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- A written report with photos
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
Take a look at our cost guide and two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Sunnymeads questions
How do I find out if my home in Sunnymeads is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Sunnymeads?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
What we do, step by step
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. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Sunnymeads can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Getting a price
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Related advice
Signs you need a roof survey in Sunnymeads
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It is frequently mistaken for a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wraysbury Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Are they insured for the work?
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Keep the report with your property records
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
