Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Netherton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Netherton?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Netherton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How long will you be on site?
A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea when booking.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Netherton
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’re worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Netherton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof frequently tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Netherton, 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 agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the price in Netherton
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
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. For an older or listed building in a place like Netherton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Visits on any day of the week

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Netherton
Historic houses such as Appleton Manor, about 2 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Netherton goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like John Blandy Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
