About our landlord roof survey in Binley
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Some older homes in villages like Binley are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Binley questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Binley listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Do you cover Binley?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Binley.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Why get it checked now?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. For older village homes like those around Binley, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Clear package prices, including VAT

Landlord roof surveys around Binley
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. About 3.8 miles north-east lies Highclere Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Binley has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Binley is about 6 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Binley and the rest of Hampshire. Binley is one of the places in Hampshire where we work. We also survey roofs in Reading.

What we are asked to look at in Binley
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Missing or loose roof coverings
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there is safe access looking for water marks and gaps.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Binley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
