Landlord roof survey in Saunderton
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, 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. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What else we do in Saunderton
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Landlord roof surveys around Saunderton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With West Wycombe Park House about 2.6 miles south, Saunderton sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like Bledlow Ridge School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church like Church of St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

FAQs for Saunderton
Will you come out to Saunderton?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Saunderton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Saunderton?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Saunderton, 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. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
