Landlord roof survey in Mayes Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We are often asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and damaged pots and flaunching, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Mayes Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How big the roof is
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Landlord roof surveys around Mayes Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Living close to Wallis Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Ockley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Mayes Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ockley station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Mayes Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Mayes Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
