How a landlord roof survey works in Dippenhall
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. If you’re worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Dippenhall, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Dippenhall
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Dippenhall?
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.
Will you come out to Dippenhall?
Yes, Dippenhall is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Dippenhall
About 1.4 miles east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Dippenhall has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Francis, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Homes near green spaces such as Underdown nature reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Dippenhall, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Around Dippenhall, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
