How a landlord roof survey works in Margery
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Margery and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photographs. If you’re worried about parapets and upstands in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Margery 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Common questions in Margery
Do you cover smaller places like Margery?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Margery?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How do I book a survey in Margery?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
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 are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Margery homes and their roofs
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. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Reigate station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Shop and office owners around The Belfry may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Margery is about 2 miles north of Reigate, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Margery can all book landlord roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. We cover towns and villages across Surrey. You can also see our page for Crawley.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like Margery, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- File each roof report for future reference
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Margery often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
