Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Crosswater
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crosswater?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Crosswater within the area you cover?
Yes, Crosswater is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crosswater
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Older buildings in small places like Crosswater may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Local roofs in Crosswater
About 4.9 miles north lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Crosswater has been built on. 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. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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 yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.

All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Basic, Standard or Premium

When to book a survey in Crosswater
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their report turnaround times
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Crosswater, a postcode does not 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 let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can safely be seen.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
