Temple Park Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Temple Park? You can book a landlord roof survey in Temple Park and across Bracknell Forest.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Ask residents to report damp right away
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
How a landlord roof survey works in Temple Park
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Temple Park and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and leaking joints at party walls.
Around Temple Park, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. 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.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
We will usually ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Local roofs in Temple Park
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church like St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Lexicon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Around Temple Park, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Temple Park: your questions answered
Is Temple Park within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Temple Park be checked too?
Normally, yes: let us know about it when booking so the visit can include it. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs frequently last around 15–20 years.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to Temple Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
