Baker's Wood questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Denham Golf Club station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Baker's Wood is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Landlord roof survey in Baker's Wood: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
In a village or hamlet like Baker's Wood, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Baker's Wood?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damaged pots and flaunching
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Baker's Wood often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Baker's Wood
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In a place like Baker's Wood, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Baker's Wood homes and their roofs
The wider area around Baker's Wood has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 3.4 miles east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Denham Golf Club station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
