Landlord roof surveys in Green End: local notes
West Wycombe Park House, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Green End. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Green End
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and blocked gutters over flats.
Some older homes in villages like Green End are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How we price landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The roof’s overall size
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Green End, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Common questions in Green End
How do I find out if my home in Green End is listed?
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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Green End?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What we’re asked to look at in Green End
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
