Landlord roof survey in Ewell
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and leaking joints at party walls.
In a town like Ewell, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon. Photos show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you can’t reach yourself.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a visit in Ewell, we need access to the loft, any rooms with leaks or stains, and the outside of the building. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Ewell?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Ewell
Historic houses like Fitznells Manor, about 0.2 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Ewell goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live near a park like Hogsmill LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you run a business near The Ashley Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Questions from Ewell
How do I find out if my home in Ewell is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ewell?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
