Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Radnage
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Radnage, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Radnage can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Related advice
When to book a survey in Radnage
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Anyone responsible for a site like Radnage Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their insurance cover
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Outbuildings and barns around Radnage are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Every finding written up with photos
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Radnage questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Saunderton station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Radnage?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I book a survey in Radnage?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

Radnage homes and their roofs
About 3.2 miles south-east lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Radnage has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
