What we’re asked to look at in Peasmarsh
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Take an older house close to St Michael: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
How a landlord roof survey works in Peasmarsh
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and damaged pots and flaunching.
Some older homes in villages like Peasmarsh are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Peasmarsh 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.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before you book.

Questions from Peasmarsh
Will you come out to Peasmarsh?
Yes. Peasmarsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Shalford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Peasmarsh?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage

Peasmarsh homes and their roofs
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Loseley Park, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Peasmarsh. 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.
Take a building like Broadwater School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Shalford station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Peasmarsh often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
