How a landlord roof survey works in Brook
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, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stains in top-floor flats and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Brook, 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 everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Outbuildings and barns around Brook are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brook
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s 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. 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 often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Witley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like King Edward's School Witley: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Brook, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey

- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
FAQs for Brook
Do you cover smaller places like Brook?
Yes, Brook is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Witley station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.

It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
