Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dedworth
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Around Dedworth, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Dedworth
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With St Leonard's Hill about 0.6 miles south, Dedworth sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Dedworth Green First School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Living close to Sutherland Grange is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near All Saints Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Dedworth
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. A visit to a smaller place like Dedworth is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. With lower homes, common in places like Dedworth, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Places near Dedworth
What else we do in Dedworth
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Dedworth
Do you cover smaller places like Dedworth?
Yes, Dedworth is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
