Landlord roof survey in Cox Green, Windsor and Maidenhead
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Cox Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Cox Green is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cox Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Cox Green drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
You receive the findings 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.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check the loft space can be accessed
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Cox Green: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Maidenhead station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Cox Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Homes in smaller places like Cox Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why us?

When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Cox Green homes and their roofs
With Dorney Court about 3.2 miles east, Cox Green sits in an area with a long building history. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wessex Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near All Saints' Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Homes near green spaces like Ockwells Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
