FAQs for Pyrford Village
Do you cover Pyrford Village?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pyrford Village?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Pyrford Village
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. Typical surveys look at damaged flat roof membrane and damaged ridges and hips, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Pyrford Village face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Pyrford Village roofs and the weather
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Byfleet Manor about 2.3 miles north-east, Pyrford Village sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Take a building like Pyrford Church of England Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. If you let a flat or house near West Byfleet station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What affects the price in Pyrford Village
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

- The kind of building and roof involved

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Pyrford Village, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
