Roof survey in Teasley Mead: what you get
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and worn or blocked valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Teasley Mead, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Leave roof access to professionals
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Teasley Mead: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Teasley Mead?
Yes. Teasley Mead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Ashurst Kent station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Will you check the loft?
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.

Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How we price roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to tell us when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
What we’re asked to look at in Teasley Mead
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Worn or blocked valleys
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near All Saints, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
