Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:

- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan

- Check the roof space can be accessed

About our landlord roof survey in Langley Vale
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you are worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Langley Vale may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

FAQs for Langley Vale
Is my home in Langley Vale listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Tattenham Corner station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you work in Langley Vale?
Yes, we do. Langley Vale is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Langley Vale
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a small place like Langley Vale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

Landlord roof surveys in Langley Vale: local notes
Historic houses like Fitznells Manor, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Langley Vale goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Tattenham Corner station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Stephen On The Downs, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Common roof problems in Langley Vale
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Flashings that have come away
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Trees in and around Ashtead Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Before you book anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Langley Vale can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
