How a landlord roof survey works in Bailey Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We are frequently asked to look into damaged pots and flaunching and gutters overflowing onto walls, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Bailey Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. 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’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

Common roof problems in Bailey Green
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Cracked or lifting flashings
The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Deal with urgent items first
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
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.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Bailey Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Bailey Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Bailey Green?
Yes, Bailey Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Bailey Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Bailey Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bailey Green
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Bailey Green has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.7 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
