Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hindhead
Do you cover smaller places like Hindhead?
Yes. Hindhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hindhead is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We will give you an idea as you book.
How a landlord roof survey works in Hindhead
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and cracked or lifting flashings.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

Local roofs in Hindhead
Older houses across Surrey often 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’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like St Edmund's School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Haslemere station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Hindhead, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
