What happens if roof problems are left?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Outbuildings and barns around Little Brickhill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Landlord roof survey in Little Brickhill
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Little Brickhill and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey converted houses, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Little Brickhill
Can a landlord with a rental near Bow Brickhill station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
How do I find out if my home in Little Brickhill is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
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.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Little Brickhill homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Bletchley Park, about 3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Little Brickhill goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Trees in and around Waterhall Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like Sir Herbert Leon Academy 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 St Mary Magdalen: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
