Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Jordans
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Jordans?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Trinity, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Useful tips for Jordans property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys in Jordans: local notes
About 5 miles north-east lies Chenies Manor House, a reminder of how long the area around Jordans has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Jordans School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Seer Green & Jordans station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
