Wanborough: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wanborough?
Yes, Wanborough is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wanborough station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Landlord roof survey in Wanborough
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed leaking joints at party walls and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Wanborough, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Wanborough homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Wanborough Manor, about 0.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Wanborough goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Wanborough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live near a park like Pucks Oak Barn and McAlmont Reserves, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Wanborough is about 4 miles west of Guildford, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Wanborough can all book landlord roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. Wanborough is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work.

What’s near Wanborough

For rail, the closest station is Wanborough station, about 0.9 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Guildford Castle (4 miles east) and Guildford Hospital (2.4 miles east). Not far away are Ash Ranges and Lower Lake.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Wanborough frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Wanborough?
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Missing or loose roof coverings
Anyone responsible for a site like Puttenham CofE Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What happens after the report arrives
- Are they insured for the work?
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wanborough
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
