About our landlord roof survey in Bray Wick
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We’re frequently asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like Bray Wick, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

FAQs for Bray Wick
Can a landlord with a rental near Maidenhead station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bray Wick?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why act early in Bray Wick
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bray Wick, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Bray Wick, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft 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.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof surveys around Bray Wick
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Dorney Court about 1.8 miles east, Bray Wick sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyport CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as Braywick Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
