Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Egham Hythe
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Egham Hythe?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Egham Hythe?
Yes, Egham Hythe is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Landlord roof survey in Egham Hythe
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you are worried about missing or loose roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Egham Hythe, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Egham Hythe?
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thorpe Lea Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Local roofs in Egham Hythe
About 3.5 miles south lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Egham Hythe has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Living close to Penton Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Why it is worth a survey now in Egham Hythe
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. In a smaller place like Egham Hythe, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
