Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around East Stratton, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Landlord roof survey in East Stratton: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover East Stratton and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photos. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and chimney stacks in poor repair, on rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like East Stratton 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. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around East Stratton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in East Stratton
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you own a rental within reach of Micheldever station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
FAQs for East Stratton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in East Stratton?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
East Stratton homes and their roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
