Roof Survey in Boundstone
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Boundstone and the rest of Surrey. We survey on any day of the week.
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Boundstone
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you’ve noticed gutters that overflow in heavy rain and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Boundstone, 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. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Signs you need a roof survey in Boundstone
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Standing water on a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like St Peter's CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Roof surveys in Boundstone: local notes
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. 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. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Boundstone 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as St Timothy are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Living close to Underdown nature reserve is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Boundstone is about 2 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Boundstone can all book roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to Boundstone is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we look at them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
