Landlord roof survey in Stroud Common: what you get
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. Typical surveys look at loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or lifting flashings, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Stroud Common, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually 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.

Local roofs in Stroud Common
The wider area around Stroud Common has a long history of building, with Chilworth Manor about 3.1 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces like Cucknell's Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Stroud Common is about 6 miles south-east of Guildford, in Surrey. From houses to flats and shops in Stroud Common, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Around Stroud Common, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

Stroud Common questions
How do I find out if my home in Stroud Common is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Stroud Common?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
