What affects the price in Weston Green

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:

  • Roof area
  • Whether it is a home or a commercial building
  • Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
  • The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen

Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Getting in touch

If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:

  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Roof survey in Weston Green: what you get

We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you’ve noticed slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it.

In a village or hamlet like Weston Green, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.

The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a roof survey looks like in Weston Green

If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.

Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Living close to Giggs Hill Green is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.3 miles north, show how far back building around Weston Green goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

What a roof survey does not cover

Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

  • Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
  • The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
  • A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Roof types and parts we check

  • The roof space
  • Flat roofs
  • Lead flashings
  • Ridges, hips and valleys
  • Clay and concrete tiles
  • Chimney stacks
  • Natural slate

DIY checks: what’s safe

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

What happens on the day

On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere like Weston Green 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.

  1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
  2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
  3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
  4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
  5. We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • Let us know about parking near the property
  • Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Advice

Landlords, agents and block managers in Weston Green

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.

Landlords, agents and building managers in Weston Green and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.

How the survey changes by roof type

Concrete interlocking tiles

On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.

Clay plain and peg tiles

Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.

Weston Green questions

Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Thames Ditton station?

Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.

Is Weston Green within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you test for asbestos?

No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.

What insurance do you have?

Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?

Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.

How do I book a survey in Weston Green?

To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
