About our landlord roof survey in Parslow's Hillock
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Parslow's Hillock
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.

Parslow's Hillock questions
Do you cover smaller places like Parslow's Hillock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Parslow's Hillock?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Parslow's Hillock?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Useful tips for Parslow's Hillock property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Deal with urgent items first
- File each roof report for future reference
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Parslow's Hillock frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Parslow's Hillock
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For landlords with property near Princes Risborough station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their report turnaround times
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Why it’s worth a survey now in Parslow's Hillock
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Parslow's Hillock, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- A written report with photos
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Parslow's Hillock homes and their roofs
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Parslow's Hillock has a long history of building, with Hughenden Manor about 4.6 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Princes Risborough School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
