Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Eashing
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a small place like Lower Eashing, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings 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.

Landlord roof surveys around Lower Eashing
About 2.7 miles north-east lies Loseley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Lower Eashing has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Living close to Middlebriars Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

The survey, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Lower Eashing can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
