About our landlord roof survey in Nalderswood
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Nalderswood are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Nalderswood?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Questions from Nalderswood
I let a flat near Salfords station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nalderswood?
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. 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 I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older and listed buildings around Nalderswood may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Nalderswood can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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 ground level, 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Nalderswood
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burys Court School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces like Edolph's Copse can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Nalderswood is about 3 miles west of Horley, in Surrey. Whether the building in Nalderswood is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Surrey. You can also see our page for Crawley.
