How a landlord roof survey works in Grayswood
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. If you’ve noticed worn ridges, hips and verges and ponding or splits on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses alike.
Somewhere as small as Grayswood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Grayswood
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Grayswood

For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.

Common questions in Grayswood
Can a landlord with a rental near Haslemere station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Grayswood?
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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Grayswood?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Grayswood can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
