Landlord roof surveys around Stoke D'Abernon
The Homewood, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stoke D'Abernon. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Parkside School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Landlord roof survey in Stoke D'Abernon
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and ceiling stains reported by tenants, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Stoke D'Abernon, many roofs stand in the open, 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 Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
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.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Stoke D'Abernon, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
