Landlord roof survey in Sandy Cross
We survey let and shared roofs in Sandy Cross and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about ponding or splits on flat roofs and parapets and upstands in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Sandy Cross 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sandy Cross
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. 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. With Farnham Castle about 3 miles west, Sandy Cross sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Laurence: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Aldershot station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Sandy Cross is about 2 miles south-east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Bookings from Sandy Cross are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Across Surrey, we cover Sandy Cross. Guildford is in our area too.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Sandy Cross
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- When you will get the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Sandy Cross can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Related advice
Sandy Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Sandy Cross?
Yes, Sandy Cross is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aldershot station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 98% of clients satisfied
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Plain-English reports with photos
