Landlord roof survey in Sutton Green
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and flashings that have come away.
In a small place like Sutton Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sutton Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Clandon Park, about 3 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Sutton Green goes. If your house is among 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 Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Trees in and around Mayford Meadows shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take an older house close to All Souls' Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a small place like Sutton Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room

What else we do in Sutton Green
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sutton Green
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sutton Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Sutton Green questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Worplesdon station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sutton Green?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you work in Sutton Green?
Yes. We cover Sutton Green and the rest of Surrey. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Building height and the viewpoints available
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- What made you get in touch
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
