Landlord roof survey in Hungerford: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs 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. Typical surveys look at cracked or lifting flashings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Hungerford homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Waltham St Lawrence Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Hungerford can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s 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.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hungerford?
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you own a rental within reach of Twyford station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
