How the survey changes by roof type

Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Goldsworth Park
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s 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 gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and leaks into upper flats, across flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Goldsworth Park, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Landlord roof surveys in Goldsworth Park: local notes
Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 4.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Goldsworth Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Woking station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What we’re asked to look at in Goldsworth Park
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goldsworth Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In an older home around Goldsworth Park, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Package prices that include VAT

What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Goldsworth Park, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Questions from Goldsworth Park
How do I find out if my home in Goldsworth Park is listed?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Goldsworth Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
