Landlord roof survey in Bar End
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. Common reasons to book are gutters overflowing onto walls and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Bar End: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bar End?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover Bar End?
Yes. Bar End is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Bar End homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Take a building like All Saints Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Bar End
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. In a place like Bar End, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.

What we are asked to look at in Bar End
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
Trees in and around St. Cross Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price includes VAT
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a small place like Bar End, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
