Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woosehill
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, 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. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed cracked or leaning shared chimneys and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Woosehill, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Landlord roof surveys around Woosehill
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Windmill Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Wokingham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Woosehill Community Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Common questions in Woosehill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woosehill?
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 cover smaller places like Woosehill?
Yes. Woosehill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I book a survey in Woosehill?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Parking around Woosehill is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice

Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Blocked gutters on homes around Woosehill overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
