Common questions in Furze Platt
Will you come out to Furze Platt?
Yes, Furze Platt is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Furze Platt listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease normally decides who is responsible and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Furze Platt?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Furze Platt
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. We are often asked to look into chimney stacks in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and rented houses.
In a smaller place like Furze Platt, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp right away
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a survey in Furze Platt, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Furze Platt
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaking joints at party walls
Take a building like Furze Platt Senior School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Local roofs in Furze Platt
Cliveden, about 2.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Furze Platt. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Furze Platt station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
