Landlord roof survey in Wick Hill, Bracknell Forest
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Wick Hill, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
When to book a survey in Wick Hill
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Landlord roof survey in Wick Hill
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats alike.
In a smaller place like Wick Hill, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Wick Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wick Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report follows by email.
What affects the price in Wick Hill
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wick Hill
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Wick Hill is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. On homes of that age, felt underlay, flat roofs, gutters and fixings may all be due attention.
Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as Warfield Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Parking around Wick Hill is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
