About our landlord roof survey in Warren Corner
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 roof space where there is safe access. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Warren Corner may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Landlord roof surveys in Warren Corner: local notes
Farnham Castle, about 2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Warren Corner. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Living close to Basingbourne Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.

What we’re asked to look at in Warren Corner
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their report turnaround times
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Report times depend 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, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Warren Corner: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Warren Corner is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you come out to Warren Corner?
Yes, Warren Corner is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Warren Corner, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
