- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dunsfold
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you are worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and blocks of flats alike.
Some older homes in villages like Dunsfold are 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Dunsfold, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Why get it checked now?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Plain-English reports with photos
- More than 20 years surveying roofs

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Landlord roof surveys around Dunsfold
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 check with the council. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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.
For landlords with property near Witley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Fir Tree Copse can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Dunsfold questions
How do I find out if my home in Dunsfold is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Dunsfold?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
