About our roof survey in Redlands
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. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey the roof space, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about debris building up in roof valleys and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- File the report with your home documents
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. For older village homes like those around Redlands, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Redlands
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Farnham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. With Farnham Castle about 2.3 miles south-east, the area around Redlands has a long history. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: 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 an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Redlands, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Surveys for landlords and agents in Redlands
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Checking the roof from the ground
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Redlands questions
How do I find out if my home in Redlands is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
