Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks

Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
About our landlord roof survey in Higher Denham
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t 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. Common reasons to book are damp or stains in top-floor flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a small place like Higher Denham, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Higher Denham
Historic houses such as Ickenham Hall, about 3.6 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Higher Denham goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Denham Green E-Act Primary Academy will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as The Pavilions, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For older village homes like those around Higher Denham, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Higher Denham
I let a flat near Denham Golf Club station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Higher Denham listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you cover Higher Denham?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Higher Denham, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
