Landlord roof surveys around Woodside
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take a building like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

How a landlord roof survey works in Woodside
We survey let and shared roofs in Woodside and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damp or stains in top-floor flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats alike.
Somewhere as small as Woodside, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common roof problems in Woodside
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What exactly goes into their report
Questions from Woodside
Do you cover Woodside?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Woodside as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Woodside listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To get a price for landlord roof surveys in Woodside, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. A few details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Why act early in Woodside
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Woodside, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Why book us in Woodside
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 98% customer satisfaction

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Woodside
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Woodside can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
