Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

How a landlord roof survey works in Stoke Mandeville
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. Typical surveys look at leaking joints at party walls and blocked gutters over flats, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
In a smaller place like Stoke Mandeville, homes range from older cottages to 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, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Blocked gutters on homes around Stoke Mandeville overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

- 5,000+ surveys completed

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Parking around Stoke Mandeville is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common questions in Stoke Mandeville
Will you come out to Stoke Mandeville?

Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Stoke Mandeville
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For landlords with property near Stoke Mandeville station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Stoke Mandeville Combined School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
