What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cliddesden
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4.8 miles north lies The Vyne, a reminder of how long the area around Cliddesden has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to Hackwood Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Shop and office owners around Festival Place may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Anyone responsible for a site like Cliddesden Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Landlord roof survey in Cliddesden: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Cliddesden and across London and South East England. A visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’re worried about damaged pots and flaunching and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes alike.
In a small place like Cliddesden, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What else we do in Cliddesden
Useful tips for Cliddesden property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What this survey cannot tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Cliddesden
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Cliddesden can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Cliddesden
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cliddesden?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like Cliddesden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we’ll need to go in so please give residents notice.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Older and listed buildings around Cliddesden may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
