Questions from Warlingham
Is my home in Warlingham listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t 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 cover smaller places like Warlingham?
Yes. Warlingham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How do I book a survey in Warlingham?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Warlingham
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Around Warlingham, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In an older home around Warlingham, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Warlingham
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Warlingham has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 3.5 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Warlingham Village Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Trees in and around Blanchman's Farm shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Landlords with a home close to Upper Warlingham station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step

A visit to Warlingham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

- 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 be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
Useful tips for Warlingham property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
