Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weston Underwood
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Weston Underwood may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Weston Underwood: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Weston Underwood is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weston Underwood?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Who usually books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Weston Underwood
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Anyone responsible for a site like Olney Infant Academy will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weston Underwood
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Lawrence, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Weston Underwood can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
