Landlord roof survey in Abbots Worthy: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Abbots Worthy may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Landlord roof surveys in Abbots Worthy: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kings Worthy Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Abbots Worthy questions
Will you come out to Abbots Worthy?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Abbots Worthy?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Other services in Abbots Worthy
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a small place like Abbots Worthy, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Abbots Worthy can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
