Landlord roof surveys across Slough: what to expect
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and choked outlets and gutters.
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

Homes and roofs across Slough
Across Slough, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, in Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell and well beyond. Each report sets out what was seen, with photographs and recommendations.
Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In Slough, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.
Slough: Anyone responsible for a site like Herschel Grammar School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live near a park like Herschel Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is

Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Slough questions
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
