Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Charlwood
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Useful tips for Charlwood property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Charlwood
Is Charlwood in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Charlwood is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Charlwood?
Yes, Charlwood is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?

What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Older and listed buildings around Charlwood may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Charlwood
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4.8 miles north lies Bentworth Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Charlwood has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Monkwood Mission Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
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.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Charlwood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
