Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wooburn Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are cracked or lifting flashings and chimney stacks in poor repair, across shared roofs, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Wooburn Green drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Being in a smaller place like Wooburn Green does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Landlord roof surveys in Wooburn Green: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 2.6 miles south lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Wooburn Green has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take a building like Wooburn Green Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For businesses in and around places such as Eden, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Questions from Wooburn Green
How do I find out if my home in Wooburn Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Bourne End station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like 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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. 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.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
