Slough questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Slough?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Slough is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Slough?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you test for asbestos?
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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Landlord roof survey in Slough
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and blocked gutters over flats.
A place the size of Slough has roofs of every age and type, with slate on older terraces, tiles on later houses and flat roofs on extensions, flats and shops. Typical faults range from slipped slates and cracked ridges to tired flashings, chimneys and blocked gutters. Knowing which you have shapes the survey.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a commercial building or block in Slough, roof access is agreed with whoever manages it ahead of the visit. For homes, clear the way to the loft hatch and let us know about any leaks you know of. You then get a report with photos.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, 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 the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

How we price landlord roof surveys

To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Landlord roof surveys in Slough: local notes
About 2.1 miles south lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Slough has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you live in an older home near St Michael and All Angels, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Slough station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Herschel Grammar School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Slough is about 22 miles west of London. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Slough can all book landlord roof surveys. Our area takes in places right across the surrounding area, from the larger towns to small villages. Reading is in our area too.
Landlord roof surveys in SL1, SL3, SL2 and SL6 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets like High Street, Station Road and London Road, and we cover them all. Slough is on the A4 and A332, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also cover Chalvey (1 mile south), Cippenham (1 mile west), Britwell (1 mile north-west), Farnham Royal (2 miles north) and Huntercombe (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns like Datchet (3 miles south-east), Farnham Common (3 miles north), Poyle (5 miles south-east) and Colnbrook (4 miles south-east).

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. In commercial buildings and blocks around Slough, water through the roof costs more than the repair itself. It is easier to plan work than to react to it.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
