How a landlord roof survey works in Shanklin Village
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’re worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and slipped or missing slates and tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Shanklin Village with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Local roofs in Shanklin Village
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Shanklin Village is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Historic houses like Nonsuch Mansion, about 1.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Shanklin Village goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Trees in and around Manor Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

What affects the price in Shanklin Village
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The property’s address and postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

How it works
Before we start, tell us 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. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Surveys in Shanklin Village can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- 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 roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Shanklin Village?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Harris Academy Sutton, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Which limits apply to the survey
Why act early in Shanklin Village
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- Surveys seven days a week
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Shanklin Village
Is parking a problem for a survey in Shanklin Village?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I let a flat near Belmont station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you look in the loft space?
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 can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
