Landlord roof survey in Brick Hill
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at damaged pots and flaunching and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a small place like Brick Hill, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brick Hill
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Brick Hill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Brick Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Brick Hill
Can a landlord with a rental near Sunningdale station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Brick Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The written report follows by email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Brick Hill homes and their roofs
Botleys Mansion, about 4 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brick Hill. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Saviour are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Living close to Gracious Pond is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
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 the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
