Aaron's Hill homes and their roofs
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Aaron's Hill has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east. 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.
Homes near green spaces such as Phillips Memorial Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Gutter survey in Aaron's Hill: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance and buyers sometimes want the gutters looked at before they exchange. The survey and report follow the same steps whatever the reason with photos and clear recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. If you are worried about blocked outlets and hoppers and gutters overflowing in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Aaron's Hill can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Signs you need a gutter survey in Aaron's Hill
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others spot damp patches, ceiling stains or green marks on the walls. The survey helps pin down the source before more damage is done.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
The streets around a church like St Mark's Church and Community Centre are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

FAQs for Aaron's Hill
Is my home in Aaron's Hill 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’s 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.
I let a flat near Godalming station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
We check whether rainwater from the gutters is reaching the wall from overflows, leaking joints or loose downpipes. We cannot see inside the wall itself, so we report on what’s visible.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Aaron's Hill
Climbing a ladder to look in the gutters yourself is risky. From the ground you can spot drips and overflows, but valleys, parapets and box gutters are hard to see. Our survey covers everything that’s safely in view and records it with photos. Around Aaron's Hill, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Prices that include VAT

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Aaron's Hill is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
