How a landlord roof survey works in St Cross
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. If you are worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and blocks of flats alike.
Around St Cross, 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. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in St Cross
Does a conservation area affect roof work in St Cross?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like St Cross?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How we price landlord roof surveys

Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
To get a price for landlord roof surveys in St Cross, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Why act early in St Cross
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. On a bungalow or cottage around St Cross, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit to a smaller place like St Cross is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Booking a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Landlord roof surveys in St Cross: local notes
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Faith's Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to St. Cross Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you live near a park such as St. Cross Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
