Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hurley
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are chimney stacks in poor repair and choked outlets and gutters, across flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hurley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Marlow station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is Hurley within the area you cover?
Yes, Hurley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Local roofs in Hurley
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 0.6 miles north lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Hurley has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Marlow station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Danesfield School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Hurley
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Deal with urgent items first
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Hurley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
