Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
How a landlord roof survey works in Winkfield
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We are often asked to look into failed flashings at walls and chimneys and choked outlets and gutters, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Winkfield, homes are often 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Winkfield
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 2.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Winkfield goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Ascot station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Winkfield
I let a flat near Ascot station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Winkfield?
Yes, Winkfield is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Winkfield?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Outbuildings and barns around Winkfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
