How a landlord roof survey works in Aaron's Hill
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Common reasons to book are cracked or lifting flashings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Aaron's Hill drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Useful tips for Aaron's Hill property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What affects the price in Aaron's Hill
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it is safe to see them.
Aaron's Hill questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aaron's Hill?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Aaron's Hill?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
When to book a survey in Aaron's Hill
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

What else we do in Aaron's Hill
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Aaron's Hill
The wider area around Aaron's Hill has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Living close to Phillips Memorial Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Aaron's Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- 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.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check we can get to the back of the property
