What affects the price in Hatchford

- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- The shape of the roof and its details
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hatchford
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding or splits on flat roofs and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hatchford?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Problems we come across often include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Landlord roof surveys in Hatchford: local notes
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 2.1 miles north-west lies Byfleet Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Hatchford has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you let a flat or house near Effingham Junction station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Living close to The Forest and the Highlands is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Hatchford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Questions from Hatchford
Will you come out to Hatchford?
Yes, Hatchford is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Effingham Junction station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
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 we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Hatchford?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Why get it checked now?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Hatchford, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
