Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Crowhurst and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How a landlord roof survey works in Crowhurst
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at damp or stains in top-floor flats and standing water on a flat roof, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
In a small place like Crowhurst, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.

What you can safely check yourself
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. Don’t go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Landlord roof surveys around Crowhurst
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Crowhurst has a long history of building, with Chartwell about 4.7 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St George, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Godstone station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Crowhurst
Is Crowhurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Crowhurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godstone station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Outbuildings and barns around Crowhurst are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
