Wentworth Roof Survey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Wentworth? We carry out roof surveys in Wentworth and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Wentworth needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

About our roof survey in Wentworth
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We’re often asked to look into crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and debris building up in roof valleys, across lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
In a small place like Wentworth, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Wentworth
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
Anyone responsible for a site like Christ Church CofE Aided Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wentworth
With Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles south-east, Wentworth sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live near a park such as Riverside Walk, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Longcross station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Whether the building in Wentworth is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Wentworth is one of the places in Surrey where we work. Guildford is in our area too.

Near you in Wentworth
Around Wentworth, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Riverside Walk and the streets around them. The closest station to Wentworth is Longcross station, roughly 1 mile south. Well-known places in the area include St. Peter's Hospital (3.3 miles south-east) and Chobham Museum (3.7 miles south). For a walk, there’s Gracious Pond and St Ann's Hill.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Letting agents and landlords in Wentworth book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Questions from Wentworth
I let a flat near Longcross station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is Wentworth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- A full building survey of the property
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Asbestos testing of any kind
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East frequently have clay plain tiles. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
