Landlord roof surveys across Windsor and Maidenhead: what to expect

We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about leaking joints at party walls and ceiling stains reported by tenants.

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. The visit normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer.

  1. We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
  2. Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
  3. Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
  4. Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
  5. A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across Windsor and Maidenhead

From Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill to its smaller places, buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead have roofs of every age. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are normally where the work is.

Even in the South East, autumn and winter storms find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In Windsor and Maidenhead, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.

Maidenhead: Living close to Braywick Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Claires Court Schools, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How we price landlord roof surveys

Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:

  • Basic, Standard or Premium
  • How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
  • Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight

For a price for your roof in Windsor and Maidenhead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Helping us price your survey

If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:

  • Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
  • When you need the report by
  • Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
  • Where the property is, with the postcode

When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

For landlords and managing agents

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.

Tips from our surveys

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:

  • Tell tenants when we’re coming
  • Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
  • Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
  • Don’t store items over the loft hatch

How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.

Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

Honest limits

Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

  • Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
  • A full structural assessment of the building
  • The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

What you can safely check yourself

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.

Windsor and Maidenhead: your questions answered

Will the survey cover the whole building?

No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.

How long does a landlord roof survey take?

A visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We will give you an idea as you book.

How do I book a survey in Windsor and Maidenhead?

Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.

Do you need access to all the flats?

It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We’ll confirm what we need when you book.

Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?

No. The lease usually decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.

Can you survey at the weekend?

We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?

Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
