What a roof survey looks like in Aaron's Hill
The wider area around Aaron's Hill has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 2.5 miles north-east. 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Godalming station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to St Mark's Church and Community Centre: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

About our roof survey in Aaron's Hill
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you are worried about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Aaron's Hill, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Why it is worth a survey now in Aaron's Hill
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Around Aaron's Hill, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.

Related advice
When to book a survey in Aaron's Hill
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Look out for signs like these:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Homes near green spaces such as Phillips Memorial Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:

FAQs for Aaron's Hill
Will you come out to Aaron's Hill?
Yes. Aaron's Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Godalming 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.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
