Landlord roof survey in Churt, Surrey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Churt? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Churt and across Surrey.
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Churt can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

About our landlord roof survey in Churt
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs frequently 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 often the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common roof problems in Churt
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Take a building like St John's CofE Aided Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
Landlord roof surveys in Churt: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Why act early in Churt
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Around Churt, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you’ll need to arrange it.
Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from ground level. 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.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Questions from Churt
Will you come out to Churt?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Haslemere station. Can you check the roof?
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.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
