Micklefield Landlord Roof Survey
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Micklefield, with photographs and a written report.
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Micklefield
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Around Micklefield, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. With lower homes, common in places like Micklefield, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

FAQs for Micklefield
Will you come out to Micklefield?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Micklefield listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Micklefield homes and their roofs
The wider area around Micklefield has a long history of building, with Hughenden Manor about 2.3 miles north-west. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’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 Eden, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What we are asked to look at in Micklefield
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you let a flat or house near High Wycombe station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they will not be able to tell you
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Micklefield is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
