Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tilford
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Tilford and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and chimney stacks in poor repair, across flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
In a small place like Tilford, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Questions from Tilford
Is Tilford within the area you cover?
Yes, Tilford is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tilford?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in so please give residents notice.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
- Roof area
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Why it is worth a survey now in Tilford
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Older and listed buildings around Tilford may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full building survey of every part of the property

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Tilford, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Landlord roof surveys around Tilford
The wider area around Tilford has a long history of building, with Farnham Castle about 3.2 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Waverley Abbey CofE Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Farnham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
