Common roof problems in Strood Green
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Living close to Deepdene Terrace is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What they will not be able to tell you
Landlord roof survey in Strood Green
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular 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 ponding or splits on flat roofs and worn ridges, hips and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Strood Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Strood Green homes and their roofs
With Polesden Lacey about 4.6 miles north-west, Strood Green 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. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Betchworth station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building like North Downs Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Strood Green
Is my home in Strood Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I let a flat near Betchworth station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Why it is worth a survey now in Strood Green
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Strood Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Visits on any day of the week
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Plain-English reports with photos

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Strood Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
