Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around Mytchett, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
What you get with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
About our landlord roof survey in Mytchett
We survey let and shared roofs in Mytchett and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed leaks into upper flats and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a smaller place like Mytchett, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Ask residents to report damp right away
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Mytchett
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Wanborough Manor, about 4.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mytchett. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Mytchett Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Living close to Frimley Lodge Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Mytchett: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnborough North station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
How do I find out if my home in Mytchett is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Mytchett for landlord roof surveys?
Yes, we do. Mytchett is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email.

What else we do in Mytchett
When you need someone else
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Parking around Mytchett is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
