Landlord roof survey in Mill Green
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Older buildings in small places like Mill Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Honest limits
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at

Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Older and listed buildings around Mill Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Mill Green questions
Is my home in Mill Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mill Green
About 4.6 miles north-west lies Shaw House, a reminder of how long the area around Mill Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Cheam School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Living close to New Greenham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Mill Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
