Landlord roof survey in Holmer Green: what you get
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Around Holmer Green, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Holmer Green homes and their roofs
With Hughenden Manor about 2.8 miles west, Holmer Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holmer Green Senior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Great Missenden station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Holmer Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Holmer Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Questions from Holmer Green
Is Holmer Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Holmer Green listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Holmer Green
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. With lower homes, common in places like Holmer Green, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What we are asked to look at in Holmer Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Shop and office owners around Eden may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- When you’ll get the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
