Surveying Staffordshire

Two coalfields bookend our Staffordshire work: the North Staffordshire field under Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Kidsgrove at the top of the county, and the Cannock Chase field under Cannock, Burntwood and Great Wyrley towards the bottom, so whichever end an instruction comes from, the mining question is usually live. Between those ends the housing is predominantly post-war, with two of every five homes around the towns we cover built between 1945 and 1982, which puts renewed flat roofs, early cavity insulation and components reaching the end of their design life on the regular checklist. The older stock concentrates in the north, where Stoke’s pre-1900 terraces are among the oldest housing we survey anywhere. The Trent gathers most of the county’s watercourses, and Uttoxeter carries the highest local flood-area count at 18, so the flood position is confirmed as a matter of course. Our 51 Staffordshire reports to date are almost all surveys rather than valuations, concentrated so far in Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford.

The stock we survey

What Staffordshire's housing is made of.

Valuation Office Agency records around the 13 towns we cover in Staffordshire, weighted by stock. The age of a house decides what a survey looks for first, so this mix is the county's casework in outline.

  • 1965–198221.3%
  • 1945–196419.8%
  • 2000 onwards16.7%
  • Pre-190012%
  • 1983–199911.7%
  • 1930s10.8%

The largest stocks sit around Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford.

Our record here

61 reports issued

across 4 Staffordshire towns since 2023, from our own job records. Issued reports only, counted the same way the town pages count them.

What the ground asks of us

5 of our Staffordshire towns sit over the North Staffordshire Coalfield, so mining history is a standing question there and we say plainly when a Coal Authority report is worth commissioning.

3 of our Staffordshire towns sit over the Cannock Chase Coalfield, so mining history is a standing question there and we say plainly when a Coal Authority report is worth commissioning.

Flood mapping is checked on every instruction here, and it earns its keep: the Environment Agency maps run thickest around Uttoxeter (18 designated areas nearby), Stoke-on-Trent (12 designated areas nearby), Stafford (12 designated areas nearby).
