Landlord roof survey in Tongham
We survey let and shared roofs in Tongham and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. Common reasons to book are standing water on a flat roof and cracked or lifting flashings, across blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
In a smaller place like Tongham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.

What else we do in Tongham
Local roofs in Tongham
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Wanborough Manor about 3.1 miles east, Tongham sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Living close to Aldershot Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take an older house close to Church of St Paul: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Tongham: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Ash station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Tongham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Tongham
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
When to book a survey in Tongham
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If you own a rental within reach of Ash station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What follow-up you get after the report
- When you will get the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Why it is worth a survey now in Tongham
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. In an older home around Tongham, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a survey in Tongham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
