Landlord roof survey in Sunbury-on-Thames
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on converted houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Most homes in a town like Sunbury-on-Thames are houses, so the roof is typically the owner’s to look after. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon. The photos let you see the parts of the roof you can’t get to.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Sunbury-on-Thames

Questions from Sunbury-on-Thames
Is my home in Sunbury-on-Thames listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sunbury-on-Thames?
Yes, Sunbury-on-Thames is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Sunbury-on-Thames as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
We’ll usually ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Sunbury-on-Thames
With Hampton Court Palace about 3.5 miles east, Sunbury-on-Thames sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Sunbury station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as St Saviour are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In Sunbury-on-Thames, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions. We check the roof from ground level and from windows, then from the loft where there’s safe access, and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common roof problems in Sunbury-on-Thames
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away
- Leaks into upper flats
Living close to Sunbury Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
