How a landlord roof survey works in Whitmoor Vale
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of 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. If you are worried about damaged pots and flaunching and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Whitmoor Vale homes and their roofs
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

FAQs for Whitmoor Vale
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Whitmoor Vale?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Whitmoor Vale needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Checking the roof from ground level
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 don’t climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
