Useful tips for Blindley Heath property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Blindley Heath
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a small place like Blindley Heath, many roofs stand in the open, 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we cannot see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Common questions in Blindley Heath
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godstone station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is Blindley Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Blindley Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Local roofs in Blindley Heath
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Living close to Lingfield Wildlife Area is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evanglist, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Godstone station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Blindley Heath is about 5 miles north of East Grinstead, in Surrey. Whether the building in Blindley Heath is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Blindley Heath is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover for landlord roof surveys. Crawley is in our area too.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Blindley Heath, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.

How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Blindley Heath, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
