What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bagshot
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like John O'Gaunt School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Bedwyn station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of the Good Shepherd, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Landlord roof survey in Bagshot
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed failed flashings at walls and chimneys and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Bagshot, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Responsibility under a lease
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Bagshot
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
What affects the price in Bagshot
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- File each roof report for future reference
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Why it is worth a survey now in Bagshot
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bagshot can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Every finding written up with photos
- 20+ years’ experience
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

FAQs for Bagshot
Do you cover smaller places like Bagshot?
Yes, Bagshot is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bagshot?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease usually decides who is responsible and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Bagshot, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
