Landlord roof survey in Lower Green, Surrey

- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
How a landlord roof survey works in Lower Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing onto walls and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
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.

What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as Lower Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

When to book a survey in Lower Green
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which limits apply to the survey
Lower Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace, about 1.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Lower Green goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranmere Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Esher station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot 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.
Common questions in Lower Green
I let a flat near Esher station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lower Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
