Landlord roof survey in West Molesey: what you get
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Typical surveys look at leaks into upper flats and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
In a smaller place like West Molesey, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in West Molesey
Do you need a landlord roof survey in West Molesey?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you own a rental within reach of Hampton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in West Molesey
With Hampton Court Palace about 1.6 miles east, West Molesey sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Bentall Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Trees in and around Lower Hampton Road shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

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’s visible.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Landlords, agents and block managers in West Molesey
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Arranging work in a smaller place like West Molesey is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

Common questions in West Molesey
Do you cover smaller places like West Molesey?
Yes, West Molesey is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Hampton station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in West Molesey?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
