How a landlord roof survey works in Dawesgreen
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there is safe access. If you are worried about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs alike.
Village roofs frequently 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Questions from Dawesgreen
I let a flat near Betchworth station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dawesgreen?
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.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How do I book a survey in Dawesgreen?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters frequently shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Dawesgreen homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Betchworth station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. The streets around a church such as Church of St Bartholomew 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. Anyone responsible for a site like Burys Court School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
How we price landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to let us know when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Dawesgreen, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Why act early in Dawesgreen
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
