Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cheriton
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We’re frequently asked to look into loose ridge or hip tiles and missing or loose roof coverings, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Cheriton, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.

Why it is worth a survey now in Cheriton
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. In a small place like Cheriton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Common questions in Cheriton
Is Cheriton in the area you cover?

Is Cheriton within the area you cover?
Yes, Cheriton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need as you book.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
A visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We will give you an idea when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Cheriton
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Look out for signs like these:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Cheriton Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before you book anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a hamlet or village like Cheriton, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Cheriton homes and their roofs
The wider area around Cheriton has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 0.8 miles south-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Michael, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
