Landlord Roof Survey in East Clandon
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in East Clandon, with photographs and a written report.
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like East Clandon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
About our landlord roof survey in East Clandon
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a small place like East Clandon, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Questions from East Clandon
Is East Clandon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in East Clandon is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft 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.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
How do I book a survey in East Clandon?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Outbuildings and barns around East Clandon are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Landlords and agents in East Clandon book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in East Clandon
Hatchlands Park, about 0.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around East Clandon. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Clandon station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Clandon CofE Aided Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
