Landlord roof survey in Holmethorpe, Surrey
Get a clear view of the let or shared roof at a property in Holmethorpe. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Why get it checked now?
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. In a smaller place like Holmethorpe, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Landlord roof survey in Holmethorpe
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are leaks into upper flats and missing or loose roof coverings, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Around Holmethorpe, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

What we cannot see
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Holmethorpe
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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Anyone responsible for a site like East Surrey College will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For businesses in and around places like The Belfry, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Holmethorpe frequently 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 agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

Holmethorpe: your questions answered
I let a flat near Redhill station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Will you come out to Holmethorpe?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
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.
