Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wisley
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We are often asked to look into loose ridge or hip tiles and blocked gutters over flats, on converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Wisley, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wisley
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Wisley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Why get it checked now?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like Wisley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Landlord roof surveys around Wisley
The wider area around Wisley has a long history of building, with Byfleet Manor about 0.8 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you run a business near The Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary 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 Wisley Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Wisley is about 4 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. We provide landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wisley. Wisley is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. We also survey roofs in Guildford.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Wisley: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near West Byfleet station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wisley?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Wisley?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
