If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Letting agents and landlords in Stambourne book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Landlord roof survey in Stambourne
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Stambourne, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Stambourne questions
Do you cover Stambourne?

Will you come out to Stambourne?
Yes, Stambourne is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Stambourne can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Stambourne
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Thomas, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
