Landlord roof survey in Bracknell Forest: how it works
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stains in top-floor flats and choked outlets and gutters.
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
What you will pay
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan

Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property

What a survey does not cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
Common roof problems in Bracknell Forest
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bracknell Forest
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Bracknell Forest
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
What does a block roof survey cost?

Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
