Roof survey in West End, Surrey
Independent roof surveys in West End. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like West End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
How a roof survey works in West End
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. Typical surveys look at ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and loose chimney pots, on lead flashings, the roof space and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like West End, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- File the report with your home documents
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
West End homes and their roofs
The wider area around West End has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 1 mile south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to St George's: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Trees in and around Claremont Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Your questions about roof surveys in West End
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hersham station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is West End within the area you cover?
Yes, West End is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
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.

When to book a survey in West End
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Take a building like Claremont Fan Court School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Landlord and commercial surveys in West End
Landlords and agents in West End book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Why get it checked now?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. Outbuildings and barns around West End are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
