Landlord roof survey in Danesfield: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Danesfield may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What affects the price in Danesfield
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We’ll typically ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- The address and postcode of the property
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a place like Danesfield, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Landlord roof surveys in Danesfield: local notes
With Harleyford Manor about 0.6 miles south-east, Danesfield sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Danesfield School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Danesfield can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Common questions in Danesfield
How do I find out if my home in Danesfield is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Danesfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Danesfield is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
