How a landlord roof survey works in Oxted
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We are frequently asked to look into worn ridges, hips and verges and cracked or lifting flashings, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Oxted drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Oxted
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hurst Green station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Oxted?
Yes, Oxted is covered. We cover the whole of 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 experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a smaller place like Oxted, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive

What happens if roof problems are left?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. On a bungalow or cottage around Oxted, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Over 20 years’ experience

Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Oxted
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Titsey Place, about 2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Oxted. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Hurst Green station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near St Agatha's Hall, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building like Hazelwood School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
