Local roofs in Winkfield Street
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 2.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Winkfield Street goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

About our landlord roof survey in Winkfield Street
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and converted houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Winkfield Street may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Deal with urgent items first
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a 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. Do not go up yourself.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older and listed buildings around Winkfield Street may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Questions from Winkfield Street
Will you come out to Winkfield Street?
Yes. Winkfield Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Winkfield Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How do I book a survey in Winkfield Street?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
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.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Winkfield Street
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Problems we come across often include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Winkfield Street, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
