Independent landlord roof surveys in Castle Green

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover

A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:

  • Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
  • Responsibility under a lease
  • Roof areas we weren’t given access to

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

What we check

  • Rented houses
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Flat roofs on blocks
  • Converted houses
  • Blocks of flats
  • Shared roofs

Landlord roof survey in Castle Green

We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We are often asked to look into flashings that have come away and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses.

Some older homes in villages like Castle Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.

It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Landlord roof surveys around Castle Green

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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Botleys Mansion about 4.2 miles north-east, Castle Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park like Milford Green and Coxhill Green, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Peacocks, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

How the survey works

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Castle Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

  1. We start with what you know about the building and its history.
  2. We confirm the access we will need.
  3. The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
  4. We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
  5. You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.

Before the survey

  • For flats, check roof access has been agreed
  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Getting a price

Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Common questions in Castle Green

Will you come out to Castle Green?

Yes. Castle Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can a landlord with a rental near Brookwood station book a roof survey?

Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.

Does this replace a RICS home survey?

No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

How much is a survey?

Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Do you need to get into the loft?

If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Castle Green

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
  • The shape of the roof and its details
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Getting in touch

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Your timetable, like an exchange date
  • The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Why act early in Castle Green

Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What you get with us

  • 5,000+ surveys completed
  • We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • Photographs and a written report every time
  • An independent look at the roof

Tips from our surveys

Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:

  • Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
  • Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
  • File each roof report for future reference
  • Arrange flat access ahead of time

How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.

Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.

What you can safely check yourself

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
