Landlord roof survey in Fernhurst
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Fernhurst 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. For older village homes like those around Fernhurst, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Fernhurst questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fernhurst?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Fernhurst?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Is this survey just for landlords?
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?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Fernhurst often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Landlord roof surveys in Fernhurst: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Cowdray House about 4.3 miles south, Fernhurst sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near The Parish Church of St Margaret, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Fernhurst Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
