Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Chilworth Old Village
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Chilworth Old Village, take more of a battering?
Often, yes. Chilworth Old Village is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
I let a flat near Chandlers Ford station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Chilworth Old Village?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
About our landlord roof survey in Chilworth Old Village
We survey let and shared roofs in Chilworth Old Village and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. If you’ve noticed cracked or lifting flashings and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Chilworth Old Village, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
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.

What to tell us when you get in touch

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks

Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Landlord roof surveys in Chilworth Old Village: local notes
Chilworth Old Village is within about 4 miles of the coast, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church like Church of St Denys are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like North Baddesley Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much 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 about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Chilworth Old Village, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
