- Gutters overflowing onto walls
How a landlord roof survey works in Hurtmore
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. If you’re worried about cracked or lifting flashings and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses alike.
Some older homes in villages like Hurtmore 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Hurtmore
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.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.

Landlord roof surveys around Hurtmore
With Loseley Park about 1.5 miles north-east, Hurtmore sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Homes near green spaces such as Middlebriars Wood can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Hurtmore questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godalming station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hurtmore?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hurtmore?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Hurtmore, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Why act early in Hurtmore
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. In a small place like Hurtmore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- A report with photographs
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Package prices that include VAT

Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
