Landlord roof survey in Seer Green: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Seer Green and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
In a small place like Seer Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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 often the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Landlord roof surveys around Seer Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building like Seer Green Church of England School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Seer Green & Jordans station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you contact us
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Seer Green
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Seer Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful 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 agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Advice
Common questions in Seer Green
How do I find out if my home in Seer Green 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Seer Green?
Yes. Seer Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
Sometimes, yes. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in, so residents need notice.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How do I book a survey in Seer Green?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
