Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cuddington
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are choked outlets and gutters and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Cuddington, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cuddington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Landlord roof surveys in Cuddington: local notes
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 0.2 miles north-east lies Nonsuch Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Cuddington has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Nonsuch High School for Girls: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park like Nonsuch Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

What else we do in Cuddington
Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Questions from Cuddington
Is Cuddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Cuddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Cheam station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. 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 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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
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 loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
