About our landlord roof survey in Stanmore
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at leaks into upper flats and gutters overflowing onto walls, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Around Stanmore, 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 normally where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Stanmore
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stanmore?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Stanmore
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Stanmore
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Stanmore Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as St. Cross Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Stanmore is about 1 mile south-west of Winchester, in Hampshire. In Stanmore, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

When to book a survey in Stanmore
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Take an older house close to Saint Luke: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Parking around Stanmore is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Homes in smaller places like Stanmore can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
