About our landlord roof survey in Woldingham
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Woldingham may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Woldingham
About 2.2 miles east lies Titsey Place, a reminder of how long the area around Woldingham has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Woldingham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Homes near green spaces such as Hill Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Common questions in Woldingham
Do you cover smaller places like Woldingham?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a landlord with a rental near Woldingham station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Woldingham
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
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, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Woldingham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.

Common roof problems in Woldingham
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Anyone responsible for a site like Woodlea Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
