About our landlord roof survey in Chertsey
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Chertsey drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
What else we do in Chertsey
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Chertsey
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. Botleys Mansion, about 1.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chertsey. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces such as Woburn Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Chertsey, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Parking around Chertsey is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Common questions in Chertsey
Is Chertsey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Chertsey station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Chertsey?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
