How a landlord roof survey works in Lane End
We survey let and shared roofs in Lane End and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 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. A written report with photos follows. Common reasons to book are leaks into upper flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, on shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Lane End drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Lane End
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Around Lane End, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Lane End
Historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House, about 1.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Lane End goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to High Wycombe station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Lane End Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Lane End is about 4 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Lane End can all book landlord roof surveys. Our area takes in places right across Buckinghamshire. There is also a page for Reading.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a smaller place like Lane End, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Related advice
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Lane End questions
I let a flat near High Wycombe station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is my home in Lane End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
