Common questions in Great Brickhill
Do you cover smaller places like Great Brickhill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Great Brickhill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How a landlord roof survey works in Great Brickhill
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We’re often asked to look into choked outlets and gutters and loose ridge or hip tiles, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Somewhere as small as Great Brickhill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Great Brickhill homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Bletchley Park, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Great Brickhill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as High Ash Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Living close to Stockgrove Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Bow Brickhill station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Great Brickhill
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Brickhill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Great Brickhill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
