Landlord roof survey in Sandhurst, Bracknell Forest
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Sandhurst, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Landlord roof survey in Sandhurst: what you get
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and standing water on a flat roof.
Most homes in a town like Sandhurst are houses, so the roof is usually the owner’s to look after. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. The report sets out what needs attention, prioritised by urgency where relevant, whether you live in the house or let it. The photographs let you see the parts of the roof you can’t get to.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Common questions in Sandhurst
Is Sandhurst in the area you cover?
Yes, Sandhurst is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Sandhurst as anywhere else.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sandhurst station book a roof survey?
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 need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You will then get the report by email.
How do I book a survey in Sandhurst?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Parking in a town like Sandhurst is normally simple, but let us know if there’s a driveway or any restrictions. We look at the roof from the ground and from windows, then from the loft where there is safe access, and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

What we’re asked to look at in Sandhurst
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
Take a building like Sandhurst School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

Landlord roof surveys around Sandhurst
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park such as Sandhurst Memorial Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Landlords with a home close to Sandhurst station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
