Landlord roof survey in Stone, Buckinghamshire
Landlord roof surveys around Stone, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
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.
How a landlord roof survey works in Stone
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We’re often asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged pots and flaunching, across flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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 roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why get it checked now?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In a place like Stone, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Landlord roof surveys around Stone
Historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor, about 4.1 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stone goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Stone Church of England Combined School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury Vale Parkway station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Questions from Stone
How do I find out if my home in Stone is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents and landlords in Stone book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Stone can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Stone?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
For businesses in and around places like Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How soon the report will arrive
