How a landlord roof survey works in Worplesdon
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and missing or loose roof coverings.
In a village or hamlet like Worplesdon, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
FAQs for Worplesdon
How do I find out if my home in Worplesdon is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Worplesdon?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I book a survey in Worplesdon?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Landlord roof surveys around Worplesdon
About 3.3 miles south-east lies Guildford Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Worplesdon has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you let a flat or house near Worplesdon station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Worplesdon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaks into upper flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
