Landlord roof survey in Wycombe Marsh
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular 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. If you’ve noticed leaks into upper flats and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Wycombe Marsh, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings 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.

Wycombe Marsh homes and their roofs
With Hughenden Manor about 2.8 miles north-west, Wycombe Marsh sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Anne, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take a building like Marsh School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Wycombe Marsh is about 1 mile south-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Bookings from Wycombe Marsh are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wycombe Marsh
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Wycombe Marsh
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Wycombe Marsh, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book us in Wycombe Marsh
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- An independent look at the roof
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Wycombe Marsh: your questions answered
Is Wycombe Marsh within the area you cover?
Yes. Wycombe Marsh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Wycombe Marsh listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just call 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.

What else we do in Wycombe Marsh
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Wycombe Marsh needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
