Landlord roof survey in Thursley
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about leaking joints at party walls and choked outlets and gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Thursley are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Thursley
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Thursley
Is Thursley within the area you cover?
Yes. Thursley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Thursley?
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.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Thursley?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Thursley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Thursley?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael and All Angels: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
