Landlord roof survey in Gomshall: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the loft space where there is safe access. We’re frequently asked to look into damp or stains in top-floor flats and standing water on a flat roof, across blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Gomshall 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Gomshall
Landlords, agents and building managers in Gomshall and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Landlord roof surveys in Gomshall: local notes
With Hatchlands Park about 2.9 miles north, Gomshall sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near The Church of St James, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Trees in and around Colekitchen Down shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Gomshall is about 5 miles west of Dorking, in Surrey. Bookings from Gomshall are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Across Surrey, we cover Gomshall and the places around it. There’s also a page for Guildford.

When to book a survey in Gomshall
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Flashings that have come away
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shere CofE Aided Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
What affects the price in Gomshall
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Common questions in Gomshall
I let a flat near Gomshall station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is Gomshall within the area you cover?
Yes, Gomshall is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Gomshall?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Gomshall, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
