Common questions in Boveney
How do I find out if my home in Boveney is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Boveney within the area you cover?
Yes, Boveney is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Landlord roof survey in Boveney: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Some older homes in villages like Boveney are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Boveney
Landlord and commercial surveys in Boveney
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Boveney needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Boveney
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. Dorney Court, about 1.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boveney. If your home is one of the older ones, 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.
Trees in and around Sutherland Grange shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary Magdalene's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Deal with urgent items first
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
