Landlord roof survey in Ansteadbrook: what you get
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. Common reasons to book are mortar falling from ridges and verges and blocked gutters over flats, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses.
Older buildings in small places like Ansteadbrook may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Why act early in Ansteadbrook
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a small place like Ansteadbrook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Ansteadbrook?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks

- Book gutter clearing at least once a year

What affects the price in Ansteadbrook
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Which survey package you book
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Local roofs in Ansteadbrook
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Whatever the street in Ansteadbrook, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Questions from Ansteadbrook
I let a flat near Haslemere station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is Ansteadbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, Ansteadbrook is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
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.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Ansteadbrook?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Ansteadbrook can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Getting a price
