Sheet's Heath Landlord Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Sheet's Heath.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Sheet's Heath can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Getting a price
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sheet's Heath
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We’re often asked to look into blocked gutters over flats and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
Somewhere as small as Sheet's Heath, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Sheet's Heath
Can a landlord with a rental near Brookwood station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Sheet's Heath?
Yes, Sheet's Heath is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Sheet's Heath?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Roof area
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Sheet's Heath
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
The streets around a church such as Saint Saviour's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How long the report takes to arrive
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sheet's Heath
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building like Brookwood Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Brookwood station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
