Landlord roof surveys for Bletchingley homes and businesses

Landlord roof surveys around Bletchingley

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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.

If you look after a building like Bletchingley Village Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Nutfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Homes near green spaces like Kitchen Copse can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

About our landlord roof survey in Bletchingley

Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. 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 confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.

Somewhere as small as Bletchingley, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What you can safely check yourself

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. For an older or listed building in a place like Bletchingley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Why us?

  • Two decades and more of roof surveys
  • Weekday and weekend surveys
  • PI and public liability insurance
  • Package prices that include VAT

What we look for on each type of roof

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions

Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.

Gutters and downpipes

Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.

What this survey cannot tell you

We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:

  • Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
  • Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
  • Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Shared roofs
  • Blocks of flats
  • Rented houses
  • Converted houses
  • Flat roofs on blocks

FAQs for Bletchingley

Do you cover smaller places like Bletchingley?

We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.

Is my home in Bletchingley listed or in a conservation area?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

How much is a landlord roof survey?

The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.

What’s the best way to book?

It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.

Do you survey roofs shared between flats?

Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.

Does the report help with maintenance planning?

Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.

What happens on the day

Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Bletchingley, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. We start with what you know about the building and its history.
  2. We confirm the access we’ll need.
  3. We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
  4. We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
  5. Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.

Before the survey

  • Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
