Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mousehill
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular 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 blocks of flats, converted houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Older buildings in small places like Mousehill may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Questions from Mousehill
Is my home in Mousehill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Why act early in Mousehill
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Mousehill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Mousehill
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Plain-English reports with photos

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Mousehill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
