Landlord roof survey in Jealott's Hill
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. 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. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We are often asked to look into parapets and upstands in poor repair and worn ridges, hips and verges, on blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs.
In a small place like Jealott's Hill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Jealott's Hill homes and their roofs
With St Leonard's Hill about 4.5 miles east, Jealott's Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael and All Angels: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Garth Hill College, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For older village homes like those around Jealott's Hill, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Common questions in Jealott's Hill
Is my home in Jealott's Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Jealott's Hill 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’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
