Burcott Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Burcott, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Get in touch for a price.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Landlord roof survey in Burcott
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Burcott and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’re worried about gutters overflowing onto walls and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Burcott, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Burcott
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you contact us
We’ll normally ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- When you need the report by
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Burcott can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What we look for on each type of roof

On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Landlord roof surveys around Burcott
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bierton Church of England Combined School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Common questions in Burcott
Is Burcott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burcott?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Common roof problems in Burcott
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Aylesbury station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
