Landlord roof survey in Gardeners Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are chimney stacks in poor repair and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses.
Somewhere as small as Gardeners Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gardeners Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Common questions in Gardeners Green
Is my home in Gardeners Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Gardeners Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Gardeners Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
A visit normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What we are asked to look at in Gardeners Green
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Choked outlets and gutters
Anyone responsible for a site like Saint Sebastians Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- When you’ll get the report
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Gardeners Green
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you let a flat or house near Wokingham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
