Landlord Roof Survey in Chilbolton
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats across Chilbolton, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Choked outlets and gutters
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Chilbolton, access is frequently 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 roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof 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.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Chilbolton
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey converted houses, rented houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stains in top-floor flats and leaking joints at party walls.
In a small place like Chilbolton, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

FAQs for Chilbolton
Is Chilbolton within the area you cover?
Yes, Chilbolton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Why get it checked now?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. Around Chilbolton, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Local roofs in Chilbolton
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Trees in and around Longstock Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you look after a building such as Wherwell Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
