Landlord roof survey in Grayshott
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are choked outlets and gutters and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Houses in smaller places like Grayshott can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Grayshott questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Haslemere station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Is my home in Grayshott listed or in a conservation area?
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.
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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Grayshott
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Homes around Grayshott often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property

Why it’s worth a survey now in Grayshott
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. With lower homes, common in places like Grayshott, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Grayshott homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Anyone responsible for a site like Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
