How a landlord roof survey works in Brookwood
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. Typical surveys look at damaged pots and flaunching and ceiling stains reported by tenants, on converted houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Older buildings in small places like Brookwood may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Brookwood
Is my home in Brookwood listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Brookwood station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Brookwood?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Brookwood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Brookwood?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Anyone responsible for a site like Brookwood Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What experience they bring
What affects the price in Brookwood
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
For a price for landlord roof surveys in Brookwood, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Landlord roof surveys in Brookwood: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you run a business near The Peacocks, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. The streets around a church like Saint Saviour's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Older and listed buildings around Brookwood may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
