Landlord roof survey in Dora's Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Dora's Green 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 often expected.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Dora's Green
With Farnham Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, Dora's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Farnham station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Dora's Green
How do I find out if my home in Dora's Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Dora's Green?
Yes, Dora's Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Dora's Green
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a small place like Dora's Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
