Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Pirbright
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you look after a building such as Knowl Hill School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What experience they bring
- What the survey will not cover
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Pirbright
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed leaking joints at party walls and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Local roofs in Pirbright
Wanborough Manor, about 4.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pirbright. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Brookwood station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Pirbright is about 3 miles south-west of Woking, in Surrey. Whether the building in Pirbright is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Surrey.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Common questions in Pirbright
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Brookwood station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Pirbright?
Yes, Pirbright is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Pirbright, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Why it’s worth a survey now in Pirbright
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pirbright can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
