Landlord roof survey in Mursley
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. Common reasons to book are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and loose ridge or hip tiles, on rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Mursley, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you’ll need to arrange it.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:

How we price landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Mursley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bletchley station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Mursley listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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 look in the roof space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you cover Mursley?
Yes. We cover Mursley and the rest of Milton Keynes, as part of our work across London and the South East. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mursley
The wider area around Mursley has a long history of building, with Bletchley Park about 4.5 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Mursley Church of England School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Mursley, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. For an older or listed building in a place like Mursley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
