How a landlord roof survey works in Wonersh
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are parapets and upstands in poor repair and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a small place like Wonersh, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.

How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Wonersh, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Related advice
Wonersh: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Chilworth station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Wonersh listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Why act early in Wonersh
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For an older or listed building in a place like Wonersh, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Landlord roof surveys in Wonersh: local notes
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Chilworth Manor about 1.7 miles north, Wonersh sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Chilworth station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Wonersh United Reformed Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
