About our landlord roof survey in Mayford
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Mayford and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and leaks into upper flats, across gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Local roofs in Mayford
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Mayford has a long history of building, with Clandon Park about 4 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Living close to Mayford Meadows is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like Westfield Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

FAQs for Mayford
Is Mayford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Mayford is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Common roof problems in Mayford
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you run a business near The Peacocks, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What experience they bring
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
How it works
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 house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Mayford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
For a price for your roof in Mayford, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
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 send us an email to find out.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
