Landlord roof survey in Old Windsor: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and missing or loose roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Old Windsor can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A proper look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Old Windsor
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Old Windsor
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Frogmore House, about 1.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Old Windsor. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Trees in and around Windsor Great Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. Landlords with a home close to Sunnymeads station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a smaller place like Old Windsor, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Old Windsor, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Common questions in Old Windsor
I let a flat near Sunnymeads station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. 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 Old Windsor?
Yes. Old Windsor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
