Roof surveys around Tyler's Green
Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tyler's Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Tyler's Green. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
If you look after a building such as Godstone Village School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How a roof survey works in Tyler's Green
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there is safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Tyler's Green, many roofs stand in the open, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What else we do in Tyler's Green
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere like Tyler's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey

Advice
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Keep the report with your property records
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Let us know about past leaks
File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Tyler's Green questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Caterham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Are there drone restrictions around Tyler's Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Tyler's Green is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, 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 if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Is Tyler's Green in your area?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Tyler's Green, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How long does the visit take?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- The roof space
- Natural slate
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
What we are asked to look at in Tyler's Green
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
If you live near a park such as Bay Pond, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
