Molesey Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys around Molesey, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Homes around Molesey often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Molesey
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 and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and converted houses, and people most often book us about leaks into upper flats and leaking joints at party walls.
Houses in smaller places like Molesey 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. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Molesey homes and their roofs
About 0.9 miles north-east lies Hampton Court Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Molesey has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as The Orchard Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Molesey is about 6 miles west of Wimbledon, in Surrey. Whether the building in Molesey is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, large and small. We also survey roofs in London.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.

Common questions in Molesey
Is Molesey within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Molesey?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you tell me if my roof has 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.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Molesey?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Molesey
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Molesey
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Blocked gutters on homes around Molesey overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
