Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nutfield
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a 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 chimney stacks in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, on shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Nutfield, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Nutfield
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Nutfield, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.

FAQs for Nutfield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nutfield?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Nutfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Nutfield is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Landlord roof surveys around Nutfield
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Nutfield station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For businesses in and around places such as The Belfry, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Leave it or get it looked at?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. For an older or listed building in a place like Nutfield, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
