About our landlord roof survey in Tyler's Green

We survey let and shared roofs in Tyler's Green and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about gutters overflowing onto walls and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it.

In a small place like Tyler's Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.

What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. For an older or listed building in a place like Tyler's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Before and after the survey

Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

  • Ask your managing agent about lease terms
  • Make leak reporting easy for tenants
  • Survey the roof on a regular cycle
  • File each roof report for future reference

How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.

Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.

Checking the roof from ground level

A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.

Tyler's Green: your questions answered

How do I find out if my home in Tyler's Green is listed?

The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

Will you come out to Tyler's Green?

Yes. Tyler's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

What does a block roof survey cost?

The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.

Will the survey cover the whole building?

No, it focuses on the roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.

How much time does the visit need?

Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.

How we price landlord roof surveys

The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:

  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • Building height and the viewpoints available
  • The shape of the roof and its details

Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Booking your survey

Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:

  • Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
  • What’s prompted the survey
  • The address and postcode of the property
  • The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat

You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Landlord roof surveys in Tyler's Green: local notes

Historic houses like Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Tyler's Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.

Homes near green spaces such as Bay Pond can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Godstone Village School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey works

Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Tyler's Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.

  1. We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
  2. You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
  3. Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
  4. Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
  5. We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
