Common questions in Enborne Row
Do you cover smaller places like Enborne Row?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Newbury station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Landlord roof survey in Enborne Row
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and gutters overflowing onto walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and rented houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Enborne Row may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Enborne Row
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaks into upper flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For an older house near a landmark like St Luke Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- When you will get the report
- What insurance they carry
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions

What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Enborne Row, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Enborne Row
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses such as Stargroves, about 2.6 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Enborne Row goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Enborne C.E. Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Before and after the survey

- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
