Local roofs in Puttenham
With Wanborough Manor about 0.9 miles north-east, Puttenham sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Wanborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Landlord roof survey in Puttenham
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and ponding or splits on flat roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. In a place like Puttenham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Why book us in Puttenham

FAQs for Puttenham
Do you cover smaller places like Puttenham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Puttenham is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in, so residents need notice.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
To get a price for landlord roof surveys in Puttenham, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Useful tips for Puttenham property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Deal with urgent items first
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Puttenham
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Anyone responsible for a site like Puttenham CofE Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What experience they bring
- Will the report include photos?
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Puttenham, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
