Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Holme Green
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and ceiling stains reported by tenants, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats alike.
Somewhere as small as Holme Green, 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 frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Honest limits
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Holme Green
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Flashings that have come away
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Floreat Montague Park Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
Holme Green homes and their 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. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
The streets around a church such as St Sebastian's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Wokingham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Holme Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
