Landlord roof survey in Blendworth, Hampshire
Landlord roof surveys across Blendworth, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Blendworth can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Landlord roof survey in Blendworth
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Blendworth may be 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Landlord roof surveys in Blendworth: local notes
Blendworth lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Uppark, about 4.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Blendworth. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. Take a building like Horndean Church of England Junior School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Rowlands Castle station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Blendworth and the surrounding area. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. Portsmouth is in our area too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.

Blendworth questions
Will you come out to Blendworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Blendworth?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there is more wind, and more salt in the air. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Useful tips for Blendworth property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Blendworth
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Blendworth. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What affects the price in Blendworth
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
