Landlord roof survey in Oakley Green
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. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Older buildings in small places like Oakley Green 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Oakley Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Oakley Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How much is a survey?
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.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Landlord roof surveys around Oakley Green
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 1 mile south-east, show how far back building in the area around Oakley Green 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.
The streets around a church like All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Windsor & Eton Central station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Oakley Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Oakley Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

When to book a survey in Oakley Green
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
Living close to Sutherland Grange is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
