Weedon Landlord Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Weedon, with photographs and a written report.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. For a village or hamlet like Weedon, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked

How a landlord roof survey works in Weedon
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier to arrange. We are often asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across shared roofs, rented houses and converted houses.
In a small place like Weedon, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Gutters and downpipes

Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weedon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. 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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Old School Room Chapel will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as Old School Room Chapel, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Weedon
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Outbuildings and barns around Weedon are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.

FAQs for Weedon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weedon?
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.
I let a flat near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
