Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Burgh Heath
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 from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you are worried about damaged pots and flaunching and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Burgh Heath
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Burgh Heath, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

FAQs for Burgh Heath
Is my home in Burgh Heath listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible and we don’t give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Useful tips for Burgh Heath property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Deal with urgent items first
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Local roofs in Burgh Heath
About 3.4 miles north-west lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Burgh Heath has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to St Mary's: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Ashley Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Homes near green spaces like Merland Rise Recreational Ground can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
