About our landlord roof survey in Flexford
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Flexford and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Some older homes in villages like Flexford are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Flexford, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters frequently shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there is safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
FAQs for Flexford
Is Flexford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wanborough station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
What if it rains on the day?
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.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What affects the price in Flexford
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlord roof surveys around Flexford
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 0.8 miles south-east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Flexford has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Wanborough station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Wyke Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
