How a landlord roof survey works in Titsey
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. 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 to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and ponding or splits on flat roofs, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Titsey are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Titsey needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Titsey
Can a landlord with a rental near Oxted station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in Titsey is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
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 to keep your plan up to date.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Local roofs in Titsey
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 0.3 miles west lies Titsey Place, a reminder of how long the area around Titsey has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Anyone responsible for a site like Oxted School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Oxted station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Common roof problems in Titsey
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Take an older house close to Church of St James the Greater: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
