Landlord roof survey in Cudworth, Surrey

- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Landlord roof survey in Cudworth
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and leaks into upper flats, on rented houses, shared roofs and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Cudworth may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Cudworth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cudworth?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Holmwood station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re 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.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cudworth
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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What else we do in Cudworth
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- A full structural assessment of the building
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Cudworth 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.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What we are asked to look at in Cudworth
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you own a rental within reach of Holmwood station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
