Laleham Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Laleham, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
About our landlord roof survey in Laleham
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and standing water on a flat roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Laleham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Laleham
Historic houses like Botleys Mansion, about 3.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Laleham goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Laleham CofE VA Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

FAQs for Laleham
Can a landlord with a rental near Staines station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Laleham?
Yes, Laleham is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Laleham?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.
When to book a survey in Laleham
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
We are often asked to look at:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Living close to Penton Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Questions to ask before booking
- When you’ll get the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
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 as far as safe access allows.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Laleham, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Advice
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we check:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Which survey package you book
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
