Landlord roof survey in Poffley End
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Poffley End and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about cracked or lifting flashings and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Village roofs frequently 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

When to book a survey in Poffley End
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you let a flat or house near Finstock station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older and listed buildings around Poffley End may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

What else we do in Poffley End
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it is safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Poffley End
The wider area around Poffley End has a long history of building, with Minster Lovell Hall about 2.2 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Poffley End can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Poffley End
Is Poffley End within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Poffley End is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
