About our landlord roof survey in Little Sandhurst
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and people most often book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and damaged pots and flaunching.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Little Sandhurst drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Little Sandhurst
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live near a park like Ambarrow Court, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Landlords with a home close to Sandhurst station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Little Sandhurst
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. On a bungalow or cottage around Little Sandhurst, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: 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 roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Little Sandhurst, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.

Common roof problems in Little Sandhurst
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Take a building like New Scotland Hill Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Little Sandhurst
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sandhurst station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Little Sandhurst is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email.
