Landlord roof survey in Batt's Corner
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are worn ridges, hips and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Batt's Corner, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The property’s address and postcode
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Batt's Corner questions
Do you cover smaller places like Batt's Corner?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Batt's Corner?
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is VAT included in the price?

- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Batt's Corner, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Batt's Corner homes and their roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Farnham Castle, about 4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Batt's Corner. 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, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Batt's Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
