Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Electronic leak detection for homes and businesses in Tilford Reeds
You get a report showing the location of each breach with photos. It tells your roofer exactly where to repair rather than guessing. We do not estimate repair costs; that’s for your roofer to price. A retest after repairs can check the work if the build-up allows. You get a report with photos. Common reasons to book are leaks showing away from the breach and patched roofs that still leak, on flat roof membranes, green roofs and commercial flat roofs.
In a small place like Tilford Reeds, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Flat roofs in Tilford Reeds
The wider area around Tilford Reeds has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 3 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like All Saints CofE Aided Infant School: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Questions from Tilford Reeds
How do I find out if my home in Tilford Reeds is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Tilford Reeds?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
When to book a survey in Tilford Reeds
Joints and laps in a membrane can fail over time. A gap that’s hard to see can let water in long before anyone notices.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- New roofs to check before paving or planting
- Leaks under green or ballasted roofs
- Patched roofs that still leak
- Punctures from foot traffic or tools
If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How we price electronic leak detection
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:

- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
All our prices include VAT. We quote electronic leak detection for each roof, as the method and time depend on the roof. You’ll know the exact price before you book.

- Get leaks traced quickly
- Clear flat roof outlets regularly
- Share any drawings of the roof
