How a landlord roof survey works in Wingrave
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The property’s address and postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Wingrave
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Wingrave?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
If you look after a building like Wingrave Church of England Combined School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Common questions in Wingrave
Do you cover smaller places like Wingrave?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Wingrave is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is usually set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wingrave
The wider area around Wingrave has a long history of building, with Ascott House about 2.6 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Cheddington station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Wingrave is about 5 miles north-east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wingrave
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Wingrave, 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.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
