Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Brewer Street
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Landlord roof survey in Brewer Street
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Brewer Street 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 frequently matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What else we do in Brewer Street
Landlords, agents and block managers in Brewer Street
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
FAQs for Brewer Street
Do you cover smaller places like Brewer Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Merstham station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Brewer Street
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Bletchingley Village Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Merstham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
