What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Landlord roof survey in Twyford
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Landlord roof surveys around Twyford
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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Twyford needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Getting a price
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

FAQs for Twyford
Will you come out to Twyford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Why it is worth a survey now in Twyford
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
For a price for your roof in Twyford, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Common roof problems in Twyford
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Blocked gutters over flats
Landlords with a home close to Shawford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What experience they bring
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
What we cannot see

- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
