Landlord Roof Survey in Clewer
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats around Clewer, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Leaking joints at party walls
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
About our landlord roof survey in Clewer
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and blocked gutters over flats.
Houses in smaller places like Clewer can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Homes in smaller places like Clewer can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full structural assessment of the building
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

What this survey covers
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Clewer
Can a landlord with a rental near Windsor & Eton Central station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is my home in Clewer listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Clewer?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will then get the report by email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Clewer?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof 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. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a survey in Clewer, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- 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 loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Clewer
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 1 mile east lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Clewer has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Homes near green spaces such as The Goswells can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
