About our landlord roof survey in Frimley
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are chimney stacks in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, across gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Around Frimley, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can be seen safely from the property we’re surveying. It helps to mention any shared stacks or gutters when booking.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Shared roofs

Local roofs in Frimley
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St. Peter's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Frimley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Frimley is about 1 mile south of Camberley, in Surrey. In Frimley, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Surrey. Guildford is in our area too.
All of GU16 and GU15 is within our area for landlord roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Church Road, Frimley High Street and Station Road, and we cover them all. Frimley sits on or near the A325 and B311.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Arrange flat access beforehand
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Frimley
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Common roof problems in Frimley
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Problems we come across often include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Take a building like Lakeside Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Most visits in a town like Frimley start at the front of the house and work round to the back. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen, so unlocked gates help. The loft comes next, where there is safe access.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
Questions from Frimley
Is my home in Frimley listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Frimley station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Frimley?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, 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 if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Is Frimley in your area?
Yes, we do. Frimley is part of the area we cover.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
