How a landlord roof survey works in Jennett's Park
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Jennett's Park and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Around Jennett's Park, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.

When to book a survey in Jennett's Park
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you run a business near The Lexicon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the survey will not cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to Jennett's Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Jennett's Park
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Harmans Water Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Martins Heron station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Jennett's Park
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Jennett's Park worth including?
Normally, yes: tell us about it as you book so the visit can include it. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Jennett's Park?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I book a survey in Jennett's Park?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Do you cover Jennett's Park?
Yes. We cover Jennett's Park and the rest of Bracknell Forest. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Jennett's Park
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Homes in smaller places like Jennett's Park can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

- Tell tenants when we’re coming
