Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Burroughs Grove
Do you cover smaller places like Burroughs Grove?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burroughs Grove?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about 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.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in, so residents need notice.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
About our landlord roof survey in Burroughs Grove
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

What else we do in Burroughs Grove
Landlord roof surveys around Burroughs Grove
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 3.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Burroughs Grove goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For landlords with property near Marlow station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like Burford School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium

What happens on the day
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Burroughs Grove can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
