About our landlord roof survey in North Gorley
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like North Gorley, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

FAQs for North Gorley
Is my home in North Gorley listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Is North Gorley in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and North Gorley is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in North Gorley
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What made you get in touch
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around North Gorley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

North Gorley homes and their roofs
The wider area around North Gorley has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 4.5 miles north. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hyde Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
What we cannot see
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- 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
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Gorley can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
