What a landlord roof survey looks like in Flackwell Heath
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Cliveden, about 2.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Flackwell Heath. 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 yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Christ Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as Juniper Hill School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Bourne End station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Flackwell Heath
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceiling stains reported by tenants and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Flackwell Heath drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into 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. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What else we do in Flackwell Heath
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a survey in Flackwell Heath, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Flackwell Heath
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:

- The shape of the roof and its details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Flackwell Heath
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Do you cover smaller places like Flackwell Heath?
Yes, Flackwell Heath is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Check the loft space can be accessed
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
