Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stoneleigh
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. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are damp or stains in top-floor flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Houses in smaller places like Stoneleigh can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

When to book a survey in Stoneleigh
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you own a rental within reach of Stoneleigh station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Stoneleigh: local notes
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Fitznells Manor about 0.8 miles south, Stoneleigh sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Ashley Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Homes near green spaces such as Hogsmill LNR can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Stoneleigh is about 1 mile north-east of Ewell, in Surrey. Whether the building in Stoneleigh is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small. We also survey roofs in London.

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
What we can’t see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Stoneleigh, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Questions from Stoneleigh
Is my home in Stoneleigh listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Stoneleigh station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
