Roof Survey in Warlingham
We carry out roof surveys in Warlingham and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Roof survey in Warlingham: what you get
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’ve noticed slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on lead flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
Houses in smaller places like Warlingham can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Warlingham homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Addington Palace, about 3.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Warlingham goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Warlingham Village Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Upper Warlingham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.

Your questions about roof surveys in Warlingham
Will you come out to Warlingham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Upper Warlingham station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How much does a roof survey cost in Warlingham?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Why get it checked now?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We check them before they cause trouble. Arranging work in a smaller place like Warlingham is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a smaller place like Warlingham, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book
