Landlord Roof Survey in Amport
We carry out landlord roof surveys in Amport and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How a landlord roof survey works in Amport
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. 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. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and ponding or splits on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats alike.
In a village or hamlet like Amport, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Amport questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Amport?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Amport, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What else we do in Amport
Amport homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Grateley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Amport Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Why act early in Amport
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Amport, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
