How a landlord roof survey works in Woolley Green
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, 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 damp or stains in top-floor flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and converted houses.
Older buildings in small places like Woolley Green 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Woolley Green
About 3.3 miles north-west lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Woolley Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Manor Green School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live near a park such as Ockwells Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Woolley Green?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Surveys for landlords and agents in Woolley Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Useful tips for Woolley Green property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
You receive a report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Woolley Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Woolley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Woolley Green?
Yes, Woolley Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Maidenhead station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we’ll say so.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
