Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lacey Green
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Lacey Green and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates and tiles and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a small place like Lacey Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
FAQs for Lacey Green
Is Lacey Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Lacey Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Saunderton station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
How do I book a survey in Lacey Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Lacey Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work

Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Lacey Green?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Blocked gutters over flats
Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one

- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
For a price for landlord roof surveys in Lacey Green, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.

Why act early in Lacey Green
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Around Lacey Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Lacey Green homes and their roofs
With West Wycombe Park House about 3.8 miles south, Lacey Green sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a building like St John's Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
