Landlord roof survey in Banstead
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you are worried about damp or stains in top-floor flats and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Banstead, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

When to book a survey in Banstead
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you let a flat or house near Banstead station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Landlord roof surveys around Banstead
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.7 miles north-west lies Nonsuch Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Banstead has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
Trees in and around Fames Rough shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Anyone responsible for a site like St Anne's Catholic Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Useful tips for Banstead property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Banstead questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Banstead station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Banstead?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Banstead is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
