How a landlord roof survey works in Bagnor
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. Common reasons to book are cracked or lifting flashings and ponding or splits on flat roofs, across rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Bagnor may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Common roof problems in Bagnor
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
If you own a rental within reach of Newbury station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will the report include photos?

Landlord and commercial surveys in Bagnor
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Landlord roof surveys around Bagnor
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 0.8 miles west lies Benham Park, a reminder of how long the area around Bagnor has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Living close to Victoria Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Bagnor questions
How do I find out if my home in Bagnor is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Bagnor?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Bagnor?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need as you book.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Bagnor can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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 safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
