Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Munstead Heath
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We’re often asked to look into damaged pots and flaunching and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Munstead Heath are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Munstead Heath, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
FAQs for Munstead Heath
Can a landlord with a rental near Godalming station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Munstead Heath listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Landlord roof surveys in Munstead Heath: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Loseley Park, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Munstead Heath. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Take an older house close to St John the Baptist Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Busbridge Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
