Landlord roof survey in Broughton Crossing: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We’re often asked to look into splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Broughton Crossing, 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’s usually 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. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

FAQs for Broughton Crossing
Is Broughton Crossing within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
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, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How do I book a survey in Broughton Crossing?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broughton Crossing can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

The survey, step by step
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 usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Broughton Crossing frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Broughton Crossing: local notes
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places like Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you look after a building such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. 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.
