What we are asked to look at in Ewhurst
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Trees in and around Sayer's Croft LNR shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How a landlord roof survey works in Ewhurst
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Ewhurst are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can safely be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.

What else we do in Ewhurst
Landlord roof surveys around Ewhurst
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. 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. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Ockley station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Ewhurst
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Ewhurst can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Questions from Ewhurst
I let a flat near Ockley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Ewhurst?
Yes, Ewhurst is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Ewhurst

What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A full structural assessment of the building

If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
