Landlord roof survey in St George's Hill: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. 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 giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are missing or loose roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
In a smaller place like St George's Hill, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
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.

Landlord roof surveys in St George's Hill: local notes
Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 2.2 miles south, show how far back building in the area around St George's Hill goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church like United Reform Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Trees in and around Woburn Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like St George's Hill doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

FAQs for St George's Hill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Weybridge station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Is my home in St George's Hill listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you work in St George's Hill?
Yes. We survey roofs in St George's Hill and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Can you tell me if my roof has 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.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
When to book a survey in St George's Hill
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Take a building like Manby Lodge Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
