About our landlord roof survey in Stoke
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and ponding or splits on flat roofs, across blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs frequently 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Questions from Stoke
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Warblington station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoke?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
How do I book a survey in Stoke?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Is Stoke in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Stoke and the rest of Hampshire. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Stoke
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Stoke often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away

Landlord and commercial surveys in Stoke
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Landlord roof surveys in Stoke: local notes
Stoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Warblington Castle, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stoke. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. For landlords with property near Warblington station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Stoke as part of our work across London and the South East. Stoke is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover.
Every address in PO11 is covered for landlord roof surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets like Havant Road, Rogers Mead and Northwood Lane, and we cover them all. Being close to the A3023, Stoke is easy for us to reach.

What’s near Stoke
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Maypole pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Warblington station, roughly 2.4 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north) and Havant Museum (2.1 miles north). Not far away are Hayling Billy.
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a place like Stoke, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
