Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Walton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about leaking joints at party walls and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Walton, 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Walton
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Walton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you own a rental within reach of Aylesbury station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Common questions in Walton
Is my home in Walton listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Walton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Honest limits
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Responsibility under a lease
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Walton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof 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 photos.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
