- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
How a landlord roof survey works in Stroude
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are leaks into upper flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, across rented houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Stroude, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Stroude and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Responsibility under a lease
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Stroude
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Flashings that have come away
Anyone responsible for a site like St Ann's Heath Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What follow-up you get after the report
- When you’ll get the report
Landlord roof surveys around Stroude
With Botleys Mansion about 2.7 miles south, Stroude sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Living close to Riverside Walk is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Questions from Stroude
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Virginia Water station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Stroude is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Stroude, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey

Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Older and listed buildings around Stroude may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
