Landlord roof survey in Cookham Dean
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Somewhere as small as Cookham Dean, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Cookham Dean
Can a landlord with a rental near Cookham station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Cookham Dean?
Yes. Cookham Dean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Cookham Dean, access is normally 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- File each roof report for future reference
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cookham Dean
The wider area around Cookham Dean has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 2.5 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Cookham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Cookham Dean CofE Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
