Landlord roof survey in Stoughton
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about cracked or lifting flashings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around Stoughton, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Stoughton
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Guildford Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, Stoughton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to Chitty's Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Guildford station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Stoughton is about 1 mile north-west of Guildford, in Surrey. We provide landlord roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Stoughton and nearby. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small.

- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What affects the price in Stoughton
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The shape of the roof and its details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Stoughton and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Stoughton often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Stoughton questions
How do I find out if my home in Stoughton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoughton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
How do I book a survey in Stoughton?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Stoughton?
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
For an older house near a landmark such as Emmanuel Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
