Landlord roof survey in Abbotts Ann
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are blocked gutters over flats and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How we price landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Why it is worth a survey now in Abbotts Ann
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In a place like Abbotts Ann, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Landlord roof surveys around Abbotts Ann
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is 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. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Abbotts Ann is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Abbotts Ann and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Southampton is in our area too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Questions from Abbotts Ann
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Abbotts Ann?
Yes, Abbotts Ann is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Abbotts Ann
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Take a building like Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
