Landlord roof survey in Stanwell: what you get
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and slipped or missing slates and tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Stanwell drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Stanwell
Will you come out to Stanwell?
Yes. Stanwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
I let a flat near Ashford Surrey station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Stanwell?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What affects the price in Stanwell
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Height and safe access
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know
- The kind of building and roof involved
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to Stanwell is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

When to book a survey in Stanwell
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Problems we come across often include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Ashford Surrey station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof surveys in Stanwell: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. 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 often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary 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. If you look after a building such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
