About our landlord roof survey in Bennett End
We survey let and shared roofs in Bennett End and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Bennett End, 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Bennett End homes and their roofs
The wider area around Bennett End has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 3.4 miles south-east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Radnage Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Bennett End, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Landlords, agents and block managers in Bennett End
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Bennett End and across Buckinghamshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Why get it checked now?
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. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
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.

FAQs for Bennett End
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Is Bennett End within the area you cover?
Yes, Bennett End is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
