How a landlord roof survey works in Littleworth
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks into upper flats and standing water on a flat roof.
In a small place like Littleworth, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common questions in Littleworth
Do you cover Littleworth?
Yes, Littleworth is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Littleworth as anywhere else.
Is Littleworth within the area you cover?
Yes, Littleworth is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Who usually books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Littleworth needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft 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
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Littleworth homes and their roofs
About 2.3 miles south lies Garsington Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Littleworth has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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.
If you run a business near Templars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Trees in and around Shotover Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
When to book a survey in Littleworth
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you look after a building such as Wheatley Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
What affects the price in Littleworth
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

- The roof’s overall size
- Which survey package you book
