Crampmoor Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Crampmoor, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Choked outlets and gutters
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Landlord roof survey in Crampmoor
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and ponding or splits on flat roofs, on shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
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.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check the loft space can be accessed
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
What we are asked to look at in Crampmoor
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Flashings that have come away
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Landlords with a home close to Romsey station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking

Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In a place like Crampmoor, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Crampmoor: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Romsey station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you come out to Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Crampmoor, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
How to book
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Advice
Local roofs in Crampmoor
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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. About 4.4 miles north-west lies Mottisfont Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Crampmoor has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Anyone responsible for a site like Cupernham Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Swithun's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
