Landlord roof survey in Martyr's Green: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Martyr's Green homes and their roofs
The wider area around Martyr's Green has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 2.2 miles north-west. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live near a park such as The Forest and the Highlands, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Effingham Junction station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Martyr's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. 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.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Martyr's Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Effingham Junction station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Martyr's Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you cover Martyr's Green for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Martyr's Green.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

When you call or email, these details help:
