Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crondall
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a village or hamlet like Crondall, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we are asked to look at in Crondall
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking joints at party walls
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.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
FAQs for Crondall
Will you come out to Crondall?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Crondall listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Crondall, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Crondall
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 2.7 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Crondall goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Crondall Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
