About our landlord roof survey in Sherington
We survey let and shared roofs in Sherington and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs, and people most often book us about mortar falling from ridges and verges and missing or loose roof coverings.
Some older homes in villages like Sherington are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- File each roof report for future reference
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sherington
About 3.6 miles south-west lies Linford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Sherington has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Laud, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What we need to know
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

When to book a survey in Sherington
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Anyone responsible for a site like Sherington Church of England School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What they will not be able to tell you
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Sherington: your questions answered
Do you cover Sherington?
Yes, Sherington is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Sherington as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Sherington?
Yes, Sherington is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
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. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Sherington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us where we can park nearby
