How a roof survey works in Westfield
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. Typical surveys look at debris building up in roof valleys and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, across ridges, hips and valleys, natural slate and lead flashings.
Houses in smaller places like Westfield 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. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Westfield, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Why get it checked now?
A small roof defect typically gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Blocked gutters on homes around Westfield overflow and soak walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Westfield
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Prices for roof surveys in Westfield
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- What kind of property and roof it is
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What a roof survey looks like in Westfield
About 4.1 miles south-east lies Clandon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Westfield has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark like St Mark's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Woking station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westfield Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Westfield is about 1 mile south-east of Woking, in Surrey. We survey roofs in Westfield and the rest of Surrey. Westfield is one of the places in Surrey we cover.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
FAQs for Westfield
How do I find out if my home in Westfield is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Westfield within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, 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 photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
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.
