Tilford Common: your questions answered
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Tilford Common listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
About our landlord roof survey in Tilford Common
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. Typical surveys look at choked outlets and gutters and damaged pots and flaunching, on converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats.
In a small place like Tilford Common, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What else we do in Tilford Common
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Tilford Common, 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 agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Local roofs in Tilford Common
About 3.9 miles north-west lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Tilford Common has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Homes near green spaces such as Thundry Meadows can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a place like Tilford Common, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
