How we price landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How a landlord roof survey works in North Looe
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you are worried about blocked gutters over flats and leaks into upper flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as North Looe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like North Looe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets in another room

Local roofs in North Looe
Historic houses such as Fitznells Manor, about 1.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around North Looe goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Living close to Priest Hill is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. The streets around a church like St John's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What else we do in North Looe
Do you need a landlord roof survey in North Looe?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
We are often asked to look at:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
For businesses in and around places such as The Ashley Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Common questions in North Looe
Will you come out to North Looe?
Yes, North Looe is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Epsom Downs station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
