Landlord roof survey in Mill Lane: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and leaking joints at party walls.
Some older homes in villages like Mill Lane are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Mill Lane can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Questions from Mill Lane
Do you cover smaller places like Mill Lane?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Mill Lane is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Mill Lane?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mill Lane can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What you get with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Clear package prices, including VAT
