Why act early in Burnham Green
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Around Burnham Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

About our landlord roof survey in Burnham Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Burnham Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we’re asked to look at in Burnham Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If you run a business near Howard Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Burnham Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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 ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Questions from Burnham Green
How do I find out if my home in Burnham Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Burnham Green?
Yes, Burnham Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. 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.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Burnham Green
Digswell House, about 1.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burnham Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Welwyn North station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Monk's Walk School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
