Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Reigate
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’re worried about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a town like Reigate, older houses with slate or clay tile roofs usually sit alongside later estates with concrete tiles. Older homes often keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Later houses have their own typical faults, from loose ridge tiles to blocked gutters.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Reigate
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
We are often asked to look at:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you live near a park such as Castle Grounds, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In Reigate, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen from your property. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work, so time on site goes where it is needed.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Landlord roof surveys in Reigate: local notes
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
Shop and office owners around The Belfry may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you own a rental within reach of Reigate station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Reigate is about 9 miles north of Crawley, in Surrey. If you are in Reigate, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Reigate is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Crawley page.

Useful tips for Reigate property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

FAQs for Reigate
Is Reigate in the area you cover?
Yes, Reigate is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Reigate listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
