Stoke Goldington questions
Is Stoke Goldington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wolverton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Stoke Goldington?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
About our landlord roof survey in Stoke Goldington
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you are worried about worn ridges, hips and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Stoke Goldington, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- A full structural assessment of the building
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

What we’re asked to look at in Stoke Goldington
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
Landlord roof surveys around Stoke Goldington
With Linford Manor about 4.3 miles south, Stoke Goldington sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Wolverton station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Stoke Goldington Church of England School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode

- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We confirm the price for your roof before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
