Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Leckhampstead
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. If you’re worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Leckhampstead, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In a place like Leckhampstead, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

What else we do in Leckhampstead
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks

Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Leckhampstead
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Stowe House about 3.4 miles west, Leckhampstead sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Leckhampstead, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Leckhampstead
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary): its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- File each roof report for future reference
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
