Landlord roof survey in Church End
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Church End, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Church End can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- 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 loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Common roof problems in Church End
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
We’ll normally ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Church End homes and their roofs
With The Vyne about 2.5 miles west, Church End sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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. 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St. Leonard: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you run a business near The Malls, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes

Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Common questions in Church End
I let a flat near Bramley (Hants) station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Church End is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you work in Church End?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Church End.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys seven days a week
- Prices that include VAT
