Chobham Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Chobham? You can book a landlord roof survey in Chobham and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Chobham, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Find any records of previous roof work
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
How a landlord roof survey works in Chobham
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: 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. 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 survey converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are flashings that have come away and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Houses in smaller places like Chobham can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Chobham: local notes
With Botleys Mansion about 3.2 miles north-east, Chobham sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Lawrence are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

- A full structural assessment of the building
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)

Chobham questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chobham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Longcross station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Arranging work in a smaller place like Chobham is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Photos and a written report every time
- Surveys seven days a week
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
