About our landlord roof survey in Flaunden
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We’re often asked to look into flashings that have come away and leaking joints at party walls, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
Older buildings in small places like Flaunden 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.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Questions from Flaunden
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Flaunden?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Chalfont & Latimer station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Flaunden?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Local roofs in Flaunden
With Chenies Manor House about 1.6 miles south, Flaunden sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Chalfont & Latimer station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene (Church of England), corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Flaunden can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Find any records of previous roof work
How to book
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Related advice
When to book a survey in Flaunden
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Missing or loose roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement Danes School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
