About our landlord roof survey in Send Marsh
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 are allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are leaking joints at party walls and gutters overflowing onto walls, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Older buildings in small places like Send Marsh may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Send Marsh
Do you cover smaller places like Send Marsh?
Yes, Send Marsh is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Clandon station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is this a RICS 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.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.

What else we do in Send Marsh
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Send Marsh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Related advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
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.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Send Marsh?
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Flashings that have come away
- Leaks into upper flats
Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Send Marsh
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Clandon Park, about 2.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Send Marsh. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St William of York, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Send CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
