Landlord roof survey in Bishopsgate, Surrey
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Bishopsgate, with photographs and a written report.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked gutters over flats
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
How a landlord roof survey works in Bishopsgate
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We’re often asked to look into chimney stacks in poor repair and cracked or lifting flashings, across converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Bishopsgate are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bishopsgate
About 2.5 miles north lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Bishopsgate has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Trees in and around Windsor Great Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you own a rental within reach of Egham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like St John's Beaumont School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.

The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Bishopsgate, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 checked 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
