Landlord roof survey in East Burnham
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We’re frequently asked to look into mortar falling from ridges and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
In a small place like East Burnham, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like East Burnham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know where we can park nearby

FAQs for East Burnham
Is East Burnham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Burnham?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in East Burnham
Cliveden, about 2.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around East Burnham. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a building such as Caldicott School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Burnham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
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.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in East Burnham
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
Living close to Cocksherd Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Are they insured for the work?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
What a survey costs

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. For an older or listed building in a place like East Burnham, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
