How a landlord roof survey works in Leatherhead
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Typical surveys look at leaks into upper flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
In a town like Leatherhead, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. The report sets out what needs attention, prioritised by urgency where relevant, whether you live in the house or let it. Photographs show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you cannot reach yourself.
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.

What we’re asked to look at in Leatherhead
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Choked outlets and gutters
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of Our Lady and St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Leatherhead, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions. The inspection covers what can be seen safely from outside, from windows and from the roof space, and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the roof 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
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

Why act early in Leatherhead
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Around Leatherhead, water from a roof defect often goes unseen for a while, like the loft insulation, the top of a wall or the roof timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there is more to put right.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
