Why get it checked now?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Older and listed buildings around Loosley Row may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

About our landlord roof survey in Loosley Row
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed leaks into upper flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 often where weather gets in first.
The written findings come 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.

Landlord roof surveys in Loosley Row: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With West Wycombe Park House about 3.9 miles south, Loosley Row sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as St John's Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Loosley Row is about 6 miles north-west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Roofs in Loosley Row get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Buckinghamshire. Loosley Row is one of the places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading.

FAQs for Loosley Row
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is Loosley Row within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Loosley Row?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there is safe access looking for water marks and gaps.

Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere like Loosley Row needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
