About our landlord roof survey in Stonehill
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into chimney stacks in poor repair and flashings that have come away, across rented houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Stonehill are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Stonehill, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Stonehill
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Living close to Gracious Pond is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Why act early in Stonehill
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stonehill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Stonehill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Longcross station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Stonehill?
Yes. Stonehill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.

Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:

- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

Stonehill homes and their roofs
The wider area around Stonehill has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 1.4 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to Christ Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
