About our landlord roof survey in Fetcham
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and rented houses, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
In a smaller place like Fetcham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Fetcham
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Honest limits
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
What else we do in Fetcham
Landlord roof surveys in Fetcham: local notes
The wider area around Fetcham has a long history of building, with Polesden Lacey about 2.4 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Living close to River Mole LNR is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building such as Oakfield Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Leatherhead station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like Fetcham is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey

Advice
Common questions in Fetcham
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Leatherhead station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fetcham?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you cover Fetcham for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Fetcham.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
