How a landlord roof survey works in Lurgashall
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
Some older homes in villages like Lurgashall are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lurgashall
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Haslemere station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Lurgashall within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Lurgashall, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive

Advice
What affects the price in Lurgashall
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Responsibility under a lease
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- A full building survey of every part of the property

Lurgashall homes and their roofs
About 3.9 miles south-east lies Petworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Lurgashall has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of St Lawrence: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
