Questions from Upper Eashing
How do I find out if my home in Upper Eashing is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Eashing?
Yes, Upper Eashing is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Upper Eashing?
Just 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 check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How long does the visit take?
Allow about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Roof survey in Upper Eashing: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey natural slate, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
In a small place like Upper Eashing, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a roof survey looks like in Upper Eashing
With Loseley Park about 2.7 miles north-east, Upper Eashing sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live near a park such as Under Green, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Upper Eashing is about 5 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Upper Eashing can all book roof surveys. Upper Eashing is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work.

Useful tips for Upper Eashing property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
How we price roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
When to book a survey in Upper Eashing
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. Lead is also a target for theft.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Take an older house close to St Mark's Church and Community Centre: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before you book anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
