How a landlord roof survey works in Midgham Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Midgham Green and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

When to book a survey in Midgham Green
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Flashings that have come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Midgham Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Midgham Green?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Midgham Green?
Yes, Midgham Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Midgham Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Midgham Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Midgham Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Landlord roof surveys in Midgham Green: local notes
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church like Church of St Matthew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Midgham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
