How a landlord roof survey works in Beare Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not 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. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings that have come away and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Give residents notice before a survey
- File each roof report for future reference
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Beare Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Holmwood station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is Beare Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Beare Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. 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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Beare Green. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Beare Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Beare Green
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. 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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you live near a park such as Newdigate Brickworks, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you let a flat or house near Holmwood station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Weald CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
