A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Outbuildings and barns around Furneux Pelham are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Furneux Pelham
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are damaged pots and flaunching and choked outlets and gutters, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Somewhere as small as Furneux Pelham, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Furneux Pelham
How do I find out if my home in Furneux Pelham is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Furneux Pelham in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Furneux Pelham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Furneux Pelham?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Furneux Pelham
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Furneux Pelham, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Furneux Pelham homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Furneux Pelham Church of England School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What we’re asked to look at in Furneux Pelham
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Furneux Pelham
