About our landlord roof survey in Aldbury
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Aldbury and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photographs. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and blocked gutters over flats, on rented houses, converted houses and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Aldbury may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Aldbury
The wider area around Aldbury has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 3.9 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Aldbury Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
What we are asked to look at in Aldbury
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
If you own a rental within reach of Tring station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs

Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Aldbury can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
