What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlord roof survey in Queens Park: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says 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. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats.
Houses in smaller places like Queens Park 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. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Local roofs in Queens Park
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Aylesbury Grammar School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Common roof problems in Queens Park
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their insurance cover
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. In an older home around Queens Park, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Homes around Queens Park often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book

Questions from Queens Park
Do you cover smaller places like Queens Park?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Queens Park?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
