Landlord and commercial surveys in Skittle Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Landlord roof survey in Skittle Green: what you get
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed failed flashings at walls and chimneys and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Skittle Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Skittle Green
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Local roofs in Skittle Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as Princes Risborough School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Princes Risborough station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

How we price landlord roof surveys

- How big the roof is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why act early in Skittle Green
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. For an older or listed building in a place like Skittle Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Skittle Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
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.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Skittle Green
Is Skittle Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Princes Risborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
