The town
Historic frontages in the centre, modern sites on the approaches
Chiltern Surface Co Ltd is based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The town's commercial property runs from prominent town-centre premises, shops, restaurants and hotels to offices, schools, care settings, managed residential developments and business sites on the approaches to the town. These buildings differ in age, scale and construction, and a busy customer entrance needs different priorities from a roof, a service area or a less visible rear elevation.
- Town centre
- The High Street, West Street and the streets around them lie within the Marlow conservation area, and many of their buildings are listed, in Georgian or older vernacular styles. Premises here have active frontages, public footways, neighbouring businesses and limited working space, so the survey records entrances, signage, pedestrian routes and the busiest times of day.
- Business sites
- Away from the centre, sites such as Globe Business Park on Fieldhouse Lane mix offices with industrial and warehouse units. They bring modern elevations, coated cladding, staff entrances, car parks, service yards and delivery routes, and the work is divided between customer-facing areas, building fabric and operational zones.
- Local conditions
- Traffic leaves grime on façades and roadside boundaries. Shade and nearby vegetation, common on the riverside and wooded sites around the town, encourage algae and other organic growth. Roof drainage creates recurring runoff marks, and busy forecourts and access routes collect dirt through daily use.
- Managed property
- An enquiry may cover one building, a mixed-use development or several managed properties. Each property is surveyed and specified on its own; several sites under one contact and one standard are covered by multi-site and portfolio contracts.
- Around Marlow
- We also cover Bisham, Little Marlow, Marlow Bottom, Medmenham, Bourne End, Cookham and the surrounding parts of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.

Safety and site control
Planned before we arrive
- Roofs
- We identify the roof covering before any work is proposed and request the asbestos register. Asbestos-cement and fragile roofs are never pressure-washed or walked on.
- Wash water
- We plan wash-water control and drain protection for every site.
- Listed and conservation buildings
- We use test areas and low-pressure methods on listed and conservation-area buildings.
- Schools and care settings
- We work in school holidays and INSET days, or behind exclusion zones away from pupils and residents.

Questions
Common questions
What types of commercial property can you take on in Marlow?
Shops, restaurants and hotels, offices, industrial and warehouse units, managed developments, schools and care settings, in the town centre or on the business sites. Each one is surveyed before it is priced.
Can you work on the listed frontages on the High Street and West Street?
Yes. The survey records each elevation's material and condition, and the specification of works sets out the method for each one.
Can a High Street shop or restaurant keep trading during the works?
Yes. Works are phased zone by zone behind agreed exclusion areas, so access can be maintained wherever the site conditions allow, and out-of-hours working is available.
What do you send after the survey?
A fixed-price proposal with a specification of works, programme and exclusions. There are no day rates and no overrun charges. When the work is done you receive a completion report with before-and-after photography, a defect schedule and a PPM proposal.
What information should I provide?
The full address, the property type, the surfaces involved, photographs if you have them, any access restrictions and your preferred timeframe. For roof or gutter work we also ask for the site's asbestos register and drainage drawings.
