Prices for landlord roof surveys in Upper Wield
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord roof survey in Upper Wield: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Upper Wield and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. You then get a report with photos. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Village roofs frequently 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Upper Wield can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
When to book a survey in Upper Wield
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.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Upper Wield
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Wield?
Yes, Upper Wield is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is Upper Wield in the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Wield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Upper Wield?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Landlord roof surveys in Upper Wield: local notes
The wider area around Upper Wield has a long history of building, with Hall Place about 2.2 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
