Tattenhoe: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Tattenhoe is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Tattenhoe within the area you cover?
Yes. Tattenhoe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease and we don’t give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need as you book.
About our landlord roof survey in Tattenhoe
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you are worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and rented houses alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Tattenhoe drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Common roof problems in Tattenhoe
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you run a business near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Tattenhoe, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

- The property’s address and postcode
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tattenhoe
Historic houses such as Bletchley Park, about 2.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Tattenhoe goes. 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Bletchley station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Giles Brook Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
