Green Hailey Landlord Roof Survey
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? You can book a landlord roof survey in Green Hailey and across Buckinghamshire, with plain-English findings.
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlord roof survey in Green Hailey: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed failed flashings at walls and chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Green Hailey, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Why act early in Green Hailey
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Older cottages and farmhouses around Green Hailey 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.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Green Hailey
Is my home in Green Hailey listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Monks Risborough station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.

What else we do in Green Hailey
Green Hailey homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a building such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Monks Risborough station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Green Hailey often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Green Hailey?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Dunstan, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their track record with similar roofs
