Landlord roof survey in Rush Green, Buckinghamshire
Landlord roof surveys in Rush Green from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Flashings that have come away
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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.
Landlord roof survey in Rush Green
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We are frequently asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses.
Older buildings in small places like Rush Green 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 like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
Rush Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is my home in Rush Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Do you cover Rush Green for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Rush Green included.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will then get the report by email.

Useful tips for Rush Green property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- File each roof report for future reference
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
When to book a survey in Rush Green
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Take an older house close to St Francis: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the survey will not cover
- Will the report include photos?
- What happens after the report arrives
Why get it checked now?
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. In a small place like Rush Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Rush Green
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
Rush Green homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Rush Green has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 3.2 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you run a business near The Pavilions, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Anyone responsible for a site like Denham Village School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.

Getting ready for the survey

- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know about parking before the day
