How a landlord roof survey works in Mogador
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and gutters overflowing onto walls.
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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
FAQs for Mogador
Do you cover smaller places like Mogador?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Mogador listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How long will you be on site?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Mogador often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlord roof surveys in Mogador: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Belfry, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Homes near green spaces like Betchworth Quarry and Lime Kilns can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Mogador
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Take a building like Kingswood Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
