The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Brightwalton Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

About our landlord roof survey in Brightwalton Green
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and leaks into upper flats.
Somewhere as small as Brightwalton Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Brightwalton Green questions
Is Brightwalton Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Brightwalton Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brightwalton Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Brightwalton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Brightwalton Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
We may do. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Brightwalton Green
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Visits on any day of the week
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- 98% of clients satisfied
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.

Brightwalton Green homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Anyone responsible for a site like Brightwalton C.E. Aided Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
