Landlord roof surveys around Crowthorne
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Crowthorne Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Crowthorne Methodist Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

About our landlord roof survey in Crowthorne
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a town like Crowthorne, older houses with slate or clay tile roofs normally sit alongside later estates with concrete tiles. Older homes often keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Later houses have their own typical faults, from loose ridge tiles to blocked gutters.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it is worth a survey now in Crowthorne
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around Crowthorne, gutters that overflow soak the wall below, and damp follows inside. At roof level, a loose tile or tired flashing does the same. Neither gets better on its own.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

What else we do in Crowthorne
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a careful look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Parking in a town like Crowthorne is normally simple, but let us know if there’s a driveway or any restrictions. The inspection covers what can be seen safely from outside, from windows and from the loft space, and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
