Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
Landlord roof survey in Shillinglee: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Shillinglee and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and people most often book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and choked outlets and gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Shillinglee?
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
Around Shillinglee, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Local roofs in Shillinglee
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Witley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Shillinglee, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.

Before the survey

Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
