Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Basingstoke
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Basingstoke and the rest of London and South East England. A visit normally takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
Trees in streets, gardens and parks drop leaves into gutters across places like Basingstoke, and once a gutter blocks, water spills down the wall. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building. Water from one part of a roof often ends up showing somewhere else entirely. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are worth checking once the leaves have fallen.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Basingstoke?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Anyone responsible for a site like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from Basingstoke
How do I find out if my home in Basingstoke is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Is Basingstoke in your area?
Yes. Basingstoke is part of the area we cover.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a commercial building or block in Basingstoke, roof access is agreed with whoever manages it before the visit. For homes, clear the way to the loft hatch and tell us about any leaks you know of. You then get a report with photos.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Landlord roof surveys in Basingstoke: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The Vyne, about 2.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Basingstoke. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as St Michael's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
