Landlord roof survey in Lucas Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Some older homes in villages like Lucas Green are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs in Lucas Green
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bisley CofE Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Lucas Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Advice
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
FAQs for Lucas Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lucas Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Lucas Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
A visit typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will give you an idea as you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.

Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
