- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access

Landlord roof survey in Frensham
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and chimney stacks in poor repair, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Frensham are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common roof problems in Frensham
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For landlords with property near Farnham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

What else we do in Frensham
Frensham: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Frensham 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.
Is Frensham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Checking the roof from ground level
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Frensham can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Local roofs in Frensham
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 3.6 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Frensham 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. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Homes near green spaces like The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Frensham
To price your survey, we check:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
