Landlord roof survey in Touchen-end
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Touchen-end may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Touchen-end?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Landlord roof surveys around Touchen-end
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, 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. With Dorney Court about 2.9 miles north-east, Touchen-end sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Trees in and around Ockwells Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like Holyport College will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- File each roof report for future reference
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.

Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Touchen-end can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Questions from Touchen-end
How do I find out if my home in Touchen-end is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Touchen-end within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
