How a landlord roof survey works in Fifield
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or lifting flashings and leaks into upper flats.
Older buildings in small places like Fifield 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Why it is worth a survey now in Fifield
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why book us in Fifield
- Prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Read how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Fifield: your questions answered
Is my home in Fifield listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Maidenhead 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.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Fifield
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Take a building like Braywood CofE First School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Fifield, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Fifield
With Dorney Court about 1.7 miles north-east, Fifield sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church such as All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
