Landlord Roof Survey in Aston Clinton
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Aston Clinton, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Aston Clinton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked

Landlord roof survey in Aston Clinton
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and standing water on a flat roof.
In a smaller place like Aston Clinton, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Aston Clinton
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Aston Clinton homes and their roofs
With Cholesbury Manor House about 4.5 miles south-east, Aston Clinton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Aston Clinton School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Stoke Mandeville station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Around Aston Clinton, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
