About our landlord roof survey in Remenham
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Typical surveys look at damp or stains in top-floor flats and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Remenham may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Questions from Remenham
Is my home in Remenham listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Remenham
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
- When you need the report by
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Common roof problems in Remenham
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Landlords with a home close to Henley-On-Thames station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Landlord roof surveys around Remenham
Greenlands, about 1 mile north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Remenham. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Rupert House School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Remenham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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 roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets in another room
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
