Pitch Green Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Pitch Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
When to book a survey in Pitch Green
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Blocked gutters over flats
The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before booking anyone
- What experience they bring
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Pitch Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Landlord roof surveys in Pitch Green: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Princes Risborough station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Princes Risborough School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials

Surveys for landlords and agents in Pitch Green
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Common questions in Pitch Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Princes Risborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Pitch Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Pitch Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
