What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Nutcombe, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

How a landlord roof survey works in Nutcombe
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like Nutcombe, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common roof problems in Nutcombe
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you own a rental within reach of Haslemere station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Questions from Nutcombe
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nutcombe?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Nutcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Nutcombe is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are 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 need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
How much is a landlord roof survey?

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Deal with urgent items first
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.

Local roofs in Nutcombe
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Amesbury School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Nutcombe, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
