About our landlord roof survey in Kingsash
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Kingsash may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Kingsash
Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kingsash. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Wendover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Old Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Kingsash
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away
- Leaks into upper flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wendover House School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Are they insured for the work?
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

FAQs for Kingsash
Is my home in Kingsash 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.
I let a flat near Wendover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I book a survey in Kingsash?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does the weather affect the survey?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a village or hamlet like Kingsash, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know 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 agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
