Landlord roof survey in Chalkhouse Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Chalkhouse Green and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Chalkhouse Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why act early in Chalkhouse Green
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. For older village homes like those around Chalkhouse Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Questions from Chalkhouse Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Reading station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Chalkhouse Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Do you work in Chalkhouse Green?

Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

Landlord roof surveys around Chalkhouse Green
About 2.6 miles west lies Mapledurham House, a reminder of how long the area around Chalkhouse Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
The streets around a church like Saint Barnabas Emmer Green are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Emmer Green Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Reading station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Chalkhouse Green, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
