Landlord roof survey in Cranleigh: what you get
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, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a smaller place like Cranleigh, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Cranleigh: your questions answered
Is Cranleigh within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Cranleigh?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to Cranleigh is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Cranleigh
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Trees in and around Sayer's Croft LNR shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you look after a building like St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Cranleigh
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Why get it checked now?
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 Cranleigh, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
