Roof surveys and written condition reports across Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwickshire. Pre-purchase assessments, landlord inspections and drone surveys for period and hard-to-access properties. Reports from £75.
A roof inspection is the most cost-effective thing a Stratford homeowner or landlord can do before a problem becomes expensive. At £75 to £150, an inspection that identifies early-stage nail sickness on a Bridgetown estate semi, or catches a failing lead valley liner before it has soaked the insulation, pays for itself many times over. We provide written reports with photographs that are suitable for home purchase negotiations, mortgage submissions, insurance claims, and landlord maintenance records.
Stratford’s period property stock makes roof inspection particularly valuable here compared to towns with more uniform housing. The same inspection on three adjacent Old Town properties can reveal three entirely different conditions: a Victorian slate roof in surprisingly good shape with perhaps ten years remaining; a Georgian property where the parapet lead was replaced badly in the 1990s and is now failing; and an Edwardian property whose original clay peg tiles are still sound but whose ridge repointing needs attention. Without an inspection, all three look similar from the street.

“Bought a Victorian property on Evesham Road. The survey flagged lead flashing issues on both chimney stacks and gave a clear cost estimate. We negotiated the price down accordingly. Saved us far more than the inspection cost.”
“Portfolio landlord with seven Stratford properties. Annual inspection contract means I know the condition of every roof before winter. Prevented two serious leak situations in the last two years through early intervention.”
“Post-storm inspection after last winter’s gales. They turned up within 48 hours, documented three displaced ridge tiles with the drone, and the photographs were exactly what the insurer needed to authorise the repair.”
A standard visual roof inspection in Stratford costs £75 to £150 and includes a written report with photographs. Drone inspection for complex or high-pitched roofs on period properties costs £100 to £200. Pre-purchase surveys for solicitors and homebuyers are £125 to £200. All inspection fees are deducted from any subsequent repair or replacement work we carry out.
Yes. We provide written roof condition reports for homebuyers, solicitors and mortgage lenders on Stratford properties. Reports cover current condition, estimated remaining life, material type, and any remedial works required with indicative costs. These are regularly requested for Victorian and period properties in Stratford where mortgage lenders may require a specialist roof assessment.
Yes. Drone inspection is available for high-pitched or hard-to-access roofs, particularly on the taller Victorian and Georgian properties in Stratford’s Old Town and the large detached Edwardian houses on Welcombe Road and Clopton Road. Drone footage is included in the inspection report as photographic evidence of condition.
There is no legal requirement for a specific interval, but an annual or biennial roof inspection is strongly advisable for any Stratford landlord with Victorian or older property. These roofs can develop problems quickly — particularly in the autumn leaf-fall season when valley gutters block fast near the riverside — and a tenant reporting a serious leak mid-tenancy is both more expensive to fix and a potential grounds for housing disrepair claims. We offer annual inspection contracts for portfolio landlords.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Stratford roofer who turns up when they say they will.
