Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wraysbury
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wraysbury drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wraysbury
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Wraysbury, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Wraysbury: your questions answered
Is my home in Wraysbury listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is drone flying allowed in Wraysbury?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Wraysbury is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access 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.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wraysbury
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Wraysbury is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying.
If you let a flat or house near Sunnymeads station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Historic houses like Frogmore House, about 1.8 miles north-west, show how far back building around Wraysbury goes. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Homes around Wraysbury often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- 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 look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
