How a landlord roof survey works in Hundridge
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed chimney stacks in poor repair and parapets and upstands in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
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.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hundridge
Is Hundridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Hundridge is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hundridge?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What does a block roof survey cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Hundridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the roof 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
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
When to book a survey in Hundridge
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Landlords with a home close to Great Missenden station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey won’t cover
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hundridge
About 3.4 miles north lies Cholesbury Manor House, a reminder of how long the area around Hundridge has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Hyde Heath Infant School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
