Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Boyn Hill
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about leaking joints at party walls and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Around Boyn Hill, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Boyn Hill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey

What else we do in Boyn Hill
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Boyn Hill homes and their roofs
Dorney Court, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boyn Hill. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live near a park such as Ockwells Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Common questions in Boyn Hill
How do I find out if my home in Boyn Hill is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Boyn Hill?
Yes. Boyn Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How do I book a survey in Boyn Hill?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
What this survey can’t tell you
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
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
