Landlord roof survey in The Village: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. We’re frequently asked to look into worn ridges, hips and verges and leaking joints at party walls, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses.
In a small place like The Village, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why it is worth a survey now in The Village
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around The Village, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in The Village
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. The wider area around The Village has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 1.7 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Windsor & Eton Central station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Trees in and around Windsor Great Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like Windsor Girls' School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around The Village, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give residents notice before a survey
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
The Village questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Windsor & Eton Central station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
How do I find out if my home in The Village is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in The Village book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Checking the roof from the ground
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 point to a blockage or a sagging run.
