Roof survey in Whiteley Village, Surrey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings around Whiteley Village, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Worn or blocked valleys
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Whiteley Village
Our roof surveys cover Whiteley Village and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’re worried about slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Whiteley Village, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

When to book a survey in Whiteley Village
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
Trees in and around West End Common shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book anyone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
Leave it or get it looked at?
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Outbuildings and barns around Whiteley Village 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.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Photographs and a written report every time
Whiteley Village: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Whiteley Village is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Whiteley Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
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 recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: 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. Most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Whiteley Village frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

What affects the price in Whiteley Village
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
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 to let us know when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Local roofs in Whiteley Village
The Homewood, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Whiteley Village. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Weybridge station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building like Notre Dame Senior School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
