Prices for landlord roof surveys in Rose Hill
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
About our landlord roof survey in Rose Hill
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and rented houses, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Somewhere as small as Rose Hill, homes are often 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. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.

Landlord roof surveys in Rose Hill: local notes
Historic houses like Cliveden, about 1 mile north-west, show how far back building in the area around Rose Hill goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Taplow station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Rose Hill is about 3 miles north-east of Maidenhead, in Slough. If you are in Rose Hill, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Rose Hill is one of the places in Slough we cover for landlord roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Reading.
We cover every part of SL1 for landlord roof surveys. If you need a landlord roof survey at a property on Rose Hill and Taplow Common Road or a nearby road, we can survey it. If you’re just outside Rose Hill, we cover Hitchambury (1 mile south), Taplow (1 mile south-west), Burnham (1 mile south-east), Littleworth Corner (1 mile north-east) and Hedsor (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Slough (4 miles south-east), Cippenham (3 miles south-east), Chalvey (4 miles south-east), Langley (6 miles south-east), Upton (5 miles south-east) and Datchet (6 miles south-east).
Around Rose Hill
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Cocksherd Wood, Burnham Grammar School and The Feathers Public House and the streets around them. Rose Hill’s nearest station is Taplow station, roughly 1.7 miles south. Well-known places in the area include St Mark's Hospital (3.5 miles south-west) and The Reitlinger Bequest Museum (2.2 miles south-west). Not far away are Taplow Lake and Littleworth Common.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Rose Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Rose Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
Why us?
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Rose Hill
I let a flat near Taplow station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Rose Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Rose Hill?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Living close to Cocksherd Wood is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
What to check before booking
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Deal with urgent items first
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
