What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Responsibility under a lease
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)

About our landlord roof survey in Berghers Hill
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a photo-illustrated written report that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are blocked gutters over flats and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Berghers Hill 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What affects the price in Berghers Hill
To price your survey, we look at:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Berghers Hill
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Berghers Hill has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 1.7 miles south. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Wooburn Green Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Bourne End station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Berghers Hill often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Berghers Hill
How do I find out if my home in Berghers Hill is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Berghers Hill within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner 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 look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
