Landlord roof survey in Rushmoor: what you get
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are parapets and upstands in poor repair and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
In a small place like Rushmoor, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlord roof surveys around Rushmoor
Historic houses like Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Rushmoor goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Homes near green spaces such as The Flashes can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

FAQs for Rushmoor
How do I find out if my home in Rushmoor is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Farnham station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you work in Rushmoor?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Rushmoor, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
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 around your tenants.
What we can’t see
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Rushmoor
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
What you can safely check yourself
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.

What else we do in Rushmoor
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Rushmoor, a postcode doesn’t 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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 safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Why act early in Rushmoor
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. For older village homes like those around Rushmoor, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
