Landlord roof survey in Brockham
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’re worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses alike.
In a small place like Brockham, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Brockham
Can a landlord with a rental near Betchworth station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Brockham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Brockham?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Landlord roof surveys in Brockham: local notes
About 4.2 miles west lies Polesden Lacey, a reminder of how long the area around Brockham has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you live near a park like Brockham Limeworks, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Betchworth station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Advice
Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
