Landlord roof survey in Andwell: what you get
The lease normally 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. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks into upper flats and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a village or hamlet like Andwell, 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. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Andwell homes and their roofs
About 4.2 miles north-west lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Andwell has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you run a business near Festival Place, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For landlords with property near Hook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Andwell is about 3 miles south-west of Hook, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Andwell, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Reading.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Andwell, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What we’re asked to look at in Andwell
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
For an older house near a landmark such as St Swithun's church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- What the survey won’t cover
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will the report include photos?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. 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 with gutters cleared every year.
Questions from Andwell
Is my home in Andwell listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In a place like Andwell, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
What this survey can’t tell you
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you. The full list of what we check.
