Why act early in Fawley Bottom
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. Older and listed buildings around Fawley Bottom may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Landlord roof survey in Fawley Bottom
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. Typical surveys look at parapets and upstands in poor repair and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on converted houses, rented houses and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Fawley Bottom 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Fawley Bottom, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Fawley Bottom homes and their roofs
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 1.5 miles north lies Stonor Park, a reminder of how long the area around Fawley Bottom has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Henley-On-Thames station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Common roof problems in Fawley Bottom
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
We are often asked to look at:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary the Virgin's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
