About our landlord roof survey in Hedgerley Green
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and mortar falling from ridges and verges, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Hedgerley Green may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Hedgerley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Hedgerley Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Gerrards Cross station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.

Hedgerley Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 4.5 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Hedgerley Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Gayhurst School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What affects the price in Hedgerley Green

When to book a survey in Hedgerley Green
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Living close to Bulstrode Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Hedgerley Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Deal with urgent items first
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
