About our landlord roof survey in Wooburn Common
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Typical surveys look at gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Wooburn Common may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in Wooburn Common
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. In a small place like Wooburn Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Wooburn Common: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Wooburn Common 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.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s 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.
Do you work in Wooburn Common?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Wooburn Common included.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wooburn Common
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Cliveden about 1.8 miles south-west, Wooburn Common sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Wooburn Green Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Bourne End station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Wooburn Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
