Also there was a crack in the wall in the airing cupboard and I have filled and sanded it and it is completely unnoticeable now.Is this bad?

IIRC you don't need to be there... I certainly didn't show him any paperwork. But obviously they need to be able to get in!

4 hours, that's ages! I thought they just had a quick look around...but that was a 1 bedroom flat...You must have a massive house then

For a 4 bed valuation survey they wer in it for 10 mins - 15 mins total if you count the outside too.

This must be a more detailed survey!

No they don't need bills or anything. He is out to assess what eh sees and finds. don't balme you re crack. If you have any written guarantees make sure the EA knows so they can head off any queries. A full structural survey may well take longer so they can climb up into roof space etc and poke around with torch.
