Allbrook Landlord Roof Survey
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? You can book a landlord roof survey in Allbrook and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- File each roof report for future reference
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
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.
How a landlord roof survey works in Allbrook
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and choked outlets and gutters.
In a smaller place like Allbrook, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a survey in Allbrook, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Allbrook
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
Common reasons to book include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked gutters over flats
If you live in an older home near St. Peter's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
Landlord and commercial surveys in Allbrook
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Landlord roof surveys in Allbrook: local notes
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. The wider area around Allbrook has a long history of building, with South Stoneham House about 3.7 miles south. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building like Scantabout Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Allbrook is about 1 mile east of Chandler's Ford, in Hampshire. If you’re in Allbrook, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Allbrook is one of the places in Hampshire where we work.

Allbrook questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Allbrook?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Chandlers Ford station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
