Landlord Roof Survey in Brooklands
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you spend money on it. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Brooklands.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
How a landlord roof survey works in Brooklands
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Around Brooklands, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. In a smaller place like Brooklands, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Brooklands homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 1.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Brooklands goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Weybridge station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Heathside School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Brooklands: your questions answered
Is Brooklands within the area you cover?
Yes. Brooklands is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Weybridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Brooklands?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
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.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
What affects the price in Brooklands
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof 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. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Brooklands is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey

Common roof problems in Brooklands
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Charles Borromeo, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
