Landlord roof survey in Denvilles: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Denvilles and across London and South East England. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceiling stains reported by tenants and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Around Denvilles, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Why it is worth a survey now in Denvilles
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around Denvilles, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Denvilles: your questions answered
Is my home in Denvilles listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Warblington station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
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 the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
How the survey 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 between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Denvilles is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Denvilles
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Denvilles
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Denvilles, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. About 0.7 miles south lies Warblington Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Denvilles has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warblington School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Warblington station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near St Thomas à Becket Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
