Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Upper Woolhampton
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the loft space where there is safe access. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a small place like Upper Woolhampton, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Upper Woolhampton
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Upper Woolhampton, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Upper Woolhampton?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
The streets around a church such as Douai Abbey Church are frequently 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.
