Christmas Pie Landlord Roof Survey

- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Christmas Pie
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Wanborough Manor, about 0.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Christmas Pie. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Bartholomew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Wanborough station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Landlord roof survey in Christmas Pie
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you are worried about leaking joints at party walls and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Christmas Pie may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Christmas Pie can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
Christmas Pie: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Christmas Pie is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wanborough station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Christmas Pie?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Look out for signs like these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you look after a building such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is added on top
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check the loft space can be accessed
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Christmas Pie
