Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bullsmoor
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Bullsmoor, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Bullsmoor questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Turkey Street station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Bullsmoor?
Yes, Bullsmoor is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Being in a smaller place like Bullsmoor doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bullsmoor
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
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 happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Bullsmoor, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent view of the roof
- 98% customer satisfaction
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property

What we’re asked to look at in Bullsmoor
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damaged pots and flaunching
The streets around a church like St George's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long the report takes to arrive
Bullsmoor homes and their roofs
The wider area around Bullsmoor has a long history of building, with Forty Hall about 1 mile south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live near a park like Gunpowder Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For landlords with property near Turkey Street station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
