Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lyne
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Botleys Mansion, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lyne. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Landlords with a home close to Chertsey station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building like Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

About our landlord roof survey in Lyne
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into leaks into upper flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
In a small place like Lyne, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Common questions in Lyne
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Chertsey station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Lyne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Lyne may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

- Satisfaction rate of 98%

The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Lyne, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Deal with urgent items first
- File each roof report for future reference
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Arrange flat access beforehand
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
