Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Russ Hill
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We’re frequently asked to look into mortar falling from ridges and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Russ Hill may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How we price landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
What we are asked to look at in Russ Hill
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Ifield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking anyone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
Why act early in Russ Hill
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For an older or listed building in a place like Russ Hill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Russ Hill frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Local roofs in Russ Hill
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Trees in and around Edolph's Copse shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near County Mall, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

FAQs for Russ Hill
Is Russ Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ifield 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
