Why it is worth a survey now in Keeper's Corner
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Keeper's Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Over 20 years’ experience
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
Landlord roof survey in Keeper's Corner
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Keeper's Corner, 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 frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Keeper's Corner, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.

Keeper's Corner: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Gatwick Airport station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Keeper's Corner is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you work in Keeper's Corner?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Keeper's Corner included.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.

- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Arrange flat access in advance
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Local roofs in Keeper's Corner
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Saint Hill Manor, about 4.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Keeper's Corner. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St Bartholomew: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Copthorne CofE Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
