About our landlord roof survey in Woodham
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at gutters overflowing onto walls and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Around Woodham, 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, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Woodham?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For landlords with property near West Byfleet station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Are they insured for the work?
Landlord roof surveys in Woodham: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Botleys Mansion, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Woodham. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Fullbrook School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Woodham is about 3 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. Woodham is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Woodham is one of the places in Surrey where we work. There is also a page for Guildford.
Landlord roof surveys in KT15 and GU21 work the same way as everywhere else we cover.

Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in West Byfleet (1 mile south-east), Sheerwater (1 mile south-west), Pyrford (1 mile south), Row Town (1 mile north) and Ottershaw (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (7 miles south), Woking (3 miles south-west), Camberley (9 miles west), Epsom (11 miles east), Farnham (15 miles south-west) and Ewell (11 miles east).

Woodham questions
Is Woodham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woodham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Being in a smaller place like Woodham does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What we cannot see
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

What this survey covers
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
