Questions from Mickleham
Is my home in Mickleham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Mickleham within the area you cover?
Yes, Mickleham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send 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 long does a landlord roof survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need as you book.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mickleham
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are damaged pots and flaunching and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it is safe to see them.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Useful tips for Mickleham property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Mickleham
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mickleham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlord roof surveys around Mickleham
With Polesden Lacey about 2.4 miles west, Mickleham sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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.
If you live near a park such as Norbury Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Box Hill & Westhumble station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
