What a landlord roof survey looks like in Maidenhead
With Dorney Court about 3 miles south-east, Maidenhead sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Trees in and around Braywick Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Claires Court Schools will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Maidenhead
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are choked outlets and gutters and flashings that have come away, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Around Maidenhead, semis and terraces share chimneys, gutters and roof lines with the house next door. A shared chimney stack or a gutter run across two houses means a defect may sit partly on someone else’s property. Shared parts are looked at as far as they can safely be seen from the property we’re surveying. Let us know when booking if you know of anything shared with next door.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs.

What else we do in Maidenhead
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Around Maidenhead, water from a roof defect often goes unseen for a while, soaking loft insulation, wall tops and timbers. By the time a stain appears on a ceiling, there’s more to put right.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Maidenhead
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Maidenhead station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Is my home in Maidenhead listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you cover Maidenhead?
Yes. We cover Maidenhead and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Maidenhead
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
