Landlord roof survey in Crowhurst Lane End
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you are worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Crowhurst Lane End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What this survey can’t tell you

- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. For an older or listed building in a place like Crowhurst Lane End, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Crowhurst Lane End often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- 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.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
FAQs for Crowhurst Lane End
I let a flat near Godstone station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Crowhurst Lane End?
Yes. Crowhurst Lane End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
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. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Crowhurst Lane End homes and their roofs
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. Titsey Place, about 4.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crowhurst Lane End. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
The streets around a church such as Church of St George are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Godstone station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Stephen's CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
