About our landlord roof survey in West End Green
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and worn ridges, hips and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as West End Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp right 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. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Local roofs in West End Green
Stratfield Saye House, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West End Green. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.

Common questions in West End Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in West End Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is West End Green within the area you cover?
Yes, West End Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in West End Green?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- 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
- What experience they bring
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as West End Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
