Landlord roof survey in Beedon: what you get
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about leaks into upper flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Beedon may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Beedon
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- When you will get the report
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Beedon, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Advice
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
FAQs for Beedon
Do you cover smaller places like Beedon?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Beedon?
Yes, Beedon is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Beedon as anywhere else.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Beedon homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
