Landlord roof survey in Farley Green: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the 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. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs alike.
In a small place like Farley Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Farley Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Farley Green
The wider area around Farley Green has a long history of building, with Chilworth Manor about 2.7 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Cucknell's Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover

Common roof problems in Farley Green
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you live in an older home near St Michael, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Questions from Farley Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Chilworth station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Farley Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Farley Green?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before you book.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- File each roof report for future reference

Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
