Wrecclesham Landlord Roof Survey
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 Wrecclesham, with photos and a clear written report.
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How a landlord roof survey works in Wrecclesham
We survey let and shared roofs in Wrecclesham and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wrecclesham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. On a bungalow or cottage around Wrecclesham, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

The survey, step by step
Photos 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. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Wrecclesham does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Anything about access we should know
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Landlord roof surveys around Wrecclesham
Farnham Castle, about 1.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wrecclesham. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park like Underdown nature reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For landlords with property near Farnham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
