Landlord roof survey in Carter's Clay
We survey let and shared roofs in Carter's Clay and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes between one and two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. We’re often asked to look into parapets and upstands in poor repair and choked outlets and gutters, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Older cottages and farmhouses around Carter's Clay can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Useful tips for Carter's Clay property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Carter's Clay: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Carter's Clay?
Yes, Carter's Clay is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I book a survey in Carter's Clay?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Carter's Clay homes and their roofs
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’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Mottisfont Abbey about 1.9 miles north-east, Carter's Clay sits in an area with a long building history. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Awbridge Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too.

The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Carter's Clay, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
