- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Charlwood, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

About our landlord roof survey in Charlwood
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the roof space where there is safe access. Common reasons to book are missing or loose roof coverings and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Charlwood may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How the survey changes by roof type

Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
When you need someone else
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Landlord roof surveys in Charlwood: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Charlwood Village Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Ifield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Charlwood is about 3 miles south-west of Horley, in Surrey. In Charlwood, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Charlwood is one of the places in Surrey where we work for landlord roof surveys.

Questions from Charlwood
Will you come out to Charlwood?
Yes, Charlwood is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Ifield station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.

For a price for landlord roof surveys in Charlwood, call 07833 053749 or email us. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
