About our landlord roof survey in Boundstone
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Boundstone, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Boundstone
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Parking around Boundstone is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- 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.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Landlord roof surveys around Boundstone
Historic houses like Farnham Castle, about 2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Boundstone goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building like St Peter's CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Homes near green spaces like Underdown nature reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Useful tips for Boundstone property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- File each roof report for future reference
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Boundstone
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
