Landlord roof survey in Camberley: what you get
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. If you’ve noticed chimney stacks in poor repair and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Semis and terraces in a town like Camberley share roof details with the neighbours. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen safely from the property we are surveying. Tell us as you book if you know of anything shared with next door.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Parking in a town like Camberley is normally simple, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions. We check the roof from ground level and from windows, then from the loft where there is safe access.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room

Camberley homes and their roofs
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Camberley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Trees in and around Tekels Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.

Common questions in Camberley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Camberley?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Camberley in the area you cover?
Yes, Camberley is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Camberley?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Camberley
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Common reasons to book include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Paul, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
