About our landlord roof survey in East Molesey
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about damaged pots and flaunching and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Houses in smaller places like East Molesey can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in East Molesey
Will you come out to East Molesey?
Yes, East Molesey is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hampton Court station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Surveys for landlords and agents in East Molesey
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like East Molesey, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey

Local roofs in East Molesey
The wider area around East Molesey has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 0.7 miles east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Trees in and around Cigarette Island Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. If you let a flat or house near Hampton Court station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Why it’s worth a survey now in East Molesey
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Arranging work in a smaller place like East Molesey is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book us in East Molesey
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Clear package prices, including VAT

What we’re asked to look at in East Molesey
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Bentall Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How soon the report will arrive
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
