Landlord roof survey in Wyke, Surrey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Wyke? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Wyke and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- File each roof report for future reference
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlord roof survey in Wyke: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Wyke and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Wyke are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wyke
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. Wanborough Manor, about 2.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wyke. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take a building like Wyke Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

FAQs for Wyke
Can a landlord with a rental near Ash station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Wyke listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Wyke?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Wyke can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice

- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings

- Choked outlets and gutters

What else we do in Wyke
DIY checks: what’s safe
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 part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
