How a landlord roof survey works in Brown Candover
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, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. We’re frequently asked to look into choked outlets and gutters and loose ridge or hip tiles, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Brown Candover 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brown Candover
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Outbuildings and barns around Brown Candover are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Roof area
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Brown Candover
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Deal with urgent items first
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brown Candover
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own a rental within reach of Micheldever station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Brown Candover can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked

Brown Candover: your questions answered
Is my home in Brown Candover listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Micheldever station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
