Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Albury
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and people most often book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and leaking joints at party walls.
Older buildings in small places like Albury may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

FAQs for Albury
Is Albury within the area you cover?
Yes, Albury is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Albury?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease usually decides who is responsible, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
How soon the report arrives depends 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.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Albury
Chilworth Manor, about 1.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Albury. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Albury can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
