How a landlord roof survey works in Lamport
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and standing water on a flat roof, on blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses.
In a small place like Lamport, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Local roofs in Lamport
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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. With Stowe House about 0.9 miles west, Lamport sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live near a park like Stowe Park and Garden, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like Akeley Wood Senior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lamport
Will you come out to Lamport?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Lamport?
Yes, Lamport is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Lamport?
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What exactly goes into their report
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof frequently tells us more. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Lamport, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
