Landlord roof survey in Hambledon: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says 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. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. Common reasons to book are missing or loose roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hambledon?
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
For an older house near a landmark such as Hambledon Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What insurance they carry

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Hambledon needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hambledon
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 check with the council. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Dominic's School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
