Surveys for landlords and agents in Meadvale
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.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Landlord roof survey in Meadvale
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. Common reasons to book are damaged pots and flaunching and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Houses in smaller places like Meadvale can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Meadvale: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Meadvale?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Earlswood (Surrey) station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’ll then get the report by email.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What else we do in Meadvale
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Meadvale
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Reigate School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For businesses in and around places such as The Belfry, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Meadvale is about 1 mile south-east of Reigate, in Surrey. We provide landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Meadvale and nearby. Our Surrey coverage includes Meadvale and the places around it. Crawley is in our area too.
Here we cover the RH2 and RH1 postcode area for landlord roof surveys. You will find streets like Hazel Road, Willow Road and Arbutus Road.

Landmarks near Meadvale
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Dunottar School, The Old Oak pub and Earlswood Common, among other places. The nearest railway station is Earlswood (Surrey) station, roughly 0.7 miles east of the centre. A little further out are The Belfry (1.2 miles north-east) and Reigate Priory Museum (1 mile north-west). Not far away are Reigate Heath and Colley Hill.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. With lower homes, common in places like Meadvale, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Meadvale
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Living close to Earlswood Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. A visit to a smaller place like Meadvale is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
