A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
How a landlord roof survey works in Ledborough
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Ledborough and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Useful tips for Ledborough property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ledborough
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Ledborough has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 4.6 miles south-west. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael and All Angels, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Ledborough?
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
Landlords with a home close to Beaconsfield station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Ledborough, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Can I check my roof myself?
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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Common questions in Ledborough
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Beaconsfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Ledborough within the area you cover?
Yes. Ledborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
