- How big the roof is
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

How a landlord roof survey works in Huntercombe
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed chimney stacks in poor repair and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks alike.
In a smaller place like Huntercombe, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Landlord roof surveys in Huntercombe: local notes
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Huntercombe has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 1.4 miles south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St. Andrew's Shared Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Living close to Haymill Valley is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Huntercombe
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Burnham station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Huntercombe is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you work in Huntercombe?
Yes, we do. Huntercombe is part of the area we cover.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
What we’re asked to look at in Huntercombe
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Flashings that have come away
If you own a rental within reach of Burnham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the price includes VAT

What else we do in Huntercombe
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to a smaller place like Huntercombe is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
