About our landlord roof survey in Mundaydean Bottom
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking joints at party walls.
Older buildings in small places like Mundaydean Bottom 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
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.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Mundaydean Bottom, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s 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.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room

Landlord roof surveys in Mundaydean Bottom: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 2.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Mundaydean Bottom goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For businesses in and around places such as Eden, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary the Virgin, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Responsibility under a lease
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
