Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check the loft space can be accessed
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cookham
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and blocked gutters over flats.
Around Cookham, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlord roof surveys around Cookham
About 1.7 miles east lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Cookham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Cookham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

FAQs for Cookham
Do you cover smaller places like Cookham?
Yes, Cookham is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Cookham station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Common roof problems in Cookham
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Cookham Rise Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What follow-up you get after the report
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Cookham doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
