Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Newyears Green
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the 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. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Newyears Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Newyears Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Newyears Green
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
Trees in and around Church Field Gardens shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Newyears Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near West Ruislip station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Newyears Green?
Yes, Newyears Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Newyears Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

- 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Advice
Local roofs in Newyears Green
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’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. The wider area around Newyears Green has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 1.5 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places such as The Chimes, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Anyone responsible for a site like Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
