Landlord roof survey in Two Mile Ash: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed leaking joints at party walls and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Two Mile Ash, 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. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Two Mile Ash
Milton Keynes, which Two Mile Ash is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. Low-pitched roofs shed water more slowly, and older concrete tiles, felt and gutters on these homes may be nearing the end of their life. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Cross: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Trees in and around South Loughton Valley park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Common roof problems in Two Mile Ash
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Common questions in Two Mile Ash
Can a landlord with a rental near Milton Keynes Central station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Are flat-roofed garages and porches in Two Mile Ash worth including?
It is frequently worth it, as these roofs are easy to forget. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a survey in Two Mile Ash, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked

Useful tips for Two Mile Ash property owners
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
