Landlord Roof Survey in Winsor
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Winsor? You can book a landlord roof survey in Winsor and across Hampshire.
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Standing water on a flat roof
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Landlord roof survey in Winsor: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of 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’re worried about choked outlets and gutters and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Winsor are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Older cottages and farmhouses around Winsor can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Winsor, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Winsor questions
Do you cover smaller places like Winsor?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Winsor is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How do I book a survey in Winsor?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Winsor homes and their roofs
Winsor lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building like Copythorne CofE Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Ashurst New Forest station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
