Landlord Roof Survey in Danaway
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Danaway, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Standing water on a flat roof
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
How a landlord roof survey works in Danaway
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Danaway, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

FAQs for Danaway
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Danaway?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Newington station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Responsibility under a lease
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Danaway can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Danaway
Danaway lies within about 4 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Newington station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Borden Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
