About our landlord roof survey in Nuptown
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you are worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Nuptown, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Nuptown
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 3.5 miles east lies St Leonard's Hill, a reminder of how long the area around Nuptown has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places like The Lexicon, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Nuptown, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Nuptown?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Flashings that have come away
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What experience they bring
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
FAQs for Nuptown
How do I find out if my home in Nuptown is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How do I book a survey in Nuptown?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
