Landlord roof survey in Heath End
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Heath End
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Heath End goes. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark the Evangelist Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as Farnham Heath End School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Aldershot station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Useful tips for Heath End property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Heath End
Can a landlord with a rental near Aldershot station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Heath End?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Rural addresses near Heath End can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check we can get to the back of the property
