How a landlord roof survey works in Shamley Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and converted houses.
In a small place like Shamley Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Shamley Green
Historic houses such as Chilworth Manor, about 2.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Shamley Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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.
If you live near a park such as Cucknell's Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Shamley Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked 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
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking near the property

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Shamley Green
Will you come out to Shamley Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
I let a flat near Chilworth station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
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. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Why get it checked now?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Shamley Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Give residents notice before a survey
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
