Landlord roof survey in Middlegreen
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and blocked gutters over flats, on shared roofs, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Village roofs frequently 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Middlegreen, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Useful tips for Middlegreen property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Give residents notice before a survey
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Middlegreen
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Windsor Castle, about 2.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Middlegreen. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Langley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Middlegreen: your questions answered
Is Middlegreen within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Middlegreen?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
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.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Common roof problems in Middlegreen
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
If you look after a building such as The Langley Academy Primary, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Middlegreen, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
