Landlord roof survey in Wormley, Surrey
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you spend money on it. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Wormley, with photos and a clear written report.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a small place like Wormley, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
How a landlord roof survey works in Wormley
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, 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. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and chimney stacks in poor repair.
In a village or hamlet like Wormley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Questions from Wormley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wormley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Witley station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Wormley homes and their roofs
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
Anyone responsible for a site like King Edward's School Witley will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Witley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
We’ll normally ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
