What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cole Henley
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 check with the council. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you look after a building such as Testbourne Community School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cole Henley
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a report with photographs to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats alike.
In a village or hamlet like Cole Henley, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Cole Henley
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Cole Henley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- 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 photographs.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Questions from Cole Henley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cole Henley?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
How do I book a survey in Cole Henley?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Leave it or get it looked at?
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 place like Cole Henley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
