Roof survey in Tandridge
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay frequently fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Typical surveys look at slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, on ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Your questions about roof surveys in Tandridge
How do I find out if my home in Tandridge is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godstone station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Tandridge can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Do you need a roof survey in Tandridge?
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
Landlords with a home close to Godstone station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What experience they bring
- Will the report include photos?
Why act early in Tandridge
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Around Tandridge, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
What you get with us
- Every finding written up with photos
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Surveys seven days a week
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
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 before booking. The full list of what we check.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tandridge
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Tandridge. Where the drone is part of the survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
Take a building like St Peter's CofE Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Titsey Place, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tandridge. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
