About landlord roof surveys in Wokingham
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a report with photographs 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 flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
What you will pay
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Prices that include VAT
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Landlord roof surveys across Wokingham: local notes
From Reading, Woodley and Earley to smaller places, people across Wokingham use a roof survey to plan ahead. Small faults, caught early, are far easier to deal with.
We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Wokingham is part of that. London and South East England have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.
Reading: If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Oracle, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you live in an older home near All Nations Christian Centre, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Why roofs fail
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Look out for signs like these:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan.
Before you book any surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What experience they bring
What a survey does not cover
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
Wokingham questions
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How do I book a survey in Wokingham?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in, so residents need notice.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
