Landlord Roof Survey in Stony Green
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Stony Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
About our landlord roof survey in Stony Green
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Somewhere as small as Stony Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

FAQs for Stony Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Great Missenden station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stony Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
How do I book a survey in Stony Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
When to book a survey in Stony Green
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
Why act early in Stony Green
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Around Stony Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Stony Green

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Local roofs in Stony Green
About 2.7 miles south lies Hughenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Stony Green has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Prestwood Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark like Holy Trinity Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. 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 Stony Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
