How a landlord roof survey works in Warren Row
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates and tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and rented houses.
In a small place like Warren Row, 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.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Questions from Warren Row
How do I find out if my home in Warren Row is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
I let a flat near Shiplake station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
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.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Warren Row?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Landlord roof surveys in Warren Row: local notes
The wider area around Warren Row has a long history of building, with Harleyford Manor about 2.4 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Shiplake station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Warren Row is about 4 miles west of Maidenhead, in Wokingham. In Warren Row, as across Wokingham, every roof gets the same careful survey. We cover towns and villages across Wokingham, from the larger towns to small villages. Reading is in our area too.

What we are asked to look at in Warren Row
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Leaks into upper flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
Take an older house close to St Paul's Mission Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Warren Row, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
