Landlord roof survey in Broughton, Buckinghamshire
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you decide what to do next. Landlord roof surveys in Broughton, with photos and a clear written report.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broughton
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, 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 are worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Broughton drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
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.

Broughton homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Broughton
Will you come out to Broughton?
Yes. Broughton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Aylesbury station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Broughton?

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

It typically takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Broughton
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
These details help when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Broughton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
