Landlord roof surveys around Littleton Common
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Littleton Common has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 4.8 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Ashford CofE Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Upper Halliford station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Matthew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Littleton Common
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Littleton Common, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Why it is worth a survey now in Littleton Common
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Around Littleton Common, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Useful tips for Littleton Common property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Littleton Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Littleton Common
Do you cover smaller places like Littleton Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can a landlord with a rental near Upper Halliford station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
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.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, 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 are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is 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.
What we cannot see
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
