What a landlord roof survey looks like in Addlestone
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 1.8 miles west lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Addlestone has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Woburn Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you look after a building like Darley Dene Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Addlestone
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and leaking joints at party walls.
In a smaller place like Addlestone, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Addlestone questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Addlestone station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Addlestone listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Addlestone?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Addlestone included.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Addlestone?
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you let a flat or house near Addlestone station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Their report turnaround times
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

Useful tips for Addlestone property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around Addlestone is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
