Roof Survey in West Bedfont
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in West Bedfont. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around West Bedfont can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You tell us 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 roof space and from the roof where 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

About our roof survey in West Bedfont
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’ve noticed gutters that overflow in heavy rain and torn or sagging underlay, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and the roof space alike.
Somewhere as small as West Bedfont, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we are asked to look at in West Bedfont
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Problems we come across often include:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Loose chimney pots
- Worn or blocked valleys
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Outbuildings and barns around West Bedfont are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in West Bedfont
- Package prices that include VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

West Bedfont homes and their roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. West Bedfont is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. Where the drone is part of the survey, permission from the airport is needed first, and the flight only goes ahead if it’s given.
Landlords with a home close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
West Bedfont is about 1 mile north of Ashford, in Surrey. West Bedfont is one of many places we visit across Surrey, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small. Guildford is in our area too.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.
West Bedfont questions
Are there drone restrictions around West Bedfont?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. West Bedfont is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. Before any flight there, we ask the airport for permission, and the flight only goes ahead if it’s given. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Will you come out to West Bedfont?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
How quickly will I get the report?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
