Prices for landlord roof surveys in Badshot Lea
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The roof’s overall size
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Badshot Lea
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a photo-illustrated written report that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Badshot Lea are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Badshot Lea
With Farnham Castle about 1.8 miles south-west, Badshot Lea sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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 is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Badshot Lea Village Infant School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Living close to Weybourne LNR is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Badshot Lea is about 1 mile south of Aldershot, in Surrey. Whether the building in Badshot Lea is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Badshot Lea is one of the places in Surrey we cover for landlord roof surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- File each roof report for future reference
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Questions from Badshot Lea
Can a landlord with a rental near Aldershot station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Is Badshot Lea within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Badshot Lea?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Badshot Lea?
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you let a flat or house near Aldershot station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
The survey, 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 will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Badshot Lea, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets in another room
