Landlord roof survey in Peper Harow: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Peper Harow and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Peper Harow, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older rural homes like those around Peper Harow can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Landlord roof surveys in Peper Harow: local notes
The wider area around Peper Harow has a long history of building, with Wanborough Manor about 3 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Homes near green spaces such as Elstead Group of Commons can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

FAQs for Peper Harow
Is Peper Harow within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Peper Harow is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
