Windlesham Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys in Windlesham, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
About our landlord roof survey in Windlesham
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Around Windlesham, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Windlesham
Is my home in Windlesham listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Bagshot station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Windlesham?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Windlesham, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Windlesham, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Local roofs in Windlesham
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Bagshot station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Windlesham Village Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St John the Baptist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
