About our landlord roof survey in Burnham
We survey let and shared roofs in Burnham and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photos. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and worn ridges, hips and verges.
In a smaller place like Burnham, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Burnham
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
Homes near green spaces like Haymill Valley can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Burnham
Can a landlord with a rental near Burnham station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is Burnham within the area you cover?
Yes, Burnham is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How do I book a survey in Burnham?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What affects the price in Burnham
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Height and safe access
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Burnham
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. On a bungalow or cottage around Burnham, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
Local roofs in Burnham
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Dorney Court, about 1.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burnham. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you own a rental within reach of Burnham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as St Peter's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
