Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ewhurst Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there is safe access. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Ewhurst Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why it is worth a survey now in Ewhurst Green
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ewhurst Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Ewhurst Green
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live near a park such as Sayer's Croft LNR, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Ockley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Ewhurst Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Ewhurst Green questions
Is Ewhurst Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Ewhurst Green 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.
How do I book a survey in Ewhurst Green?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
