Landlord roof survey in Criddlestyle: what you get
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you are worried about standing water on a flat roof and mortar falling from ridges and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and converted houses alike.
In a village or hamlet like Criddlestyle, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Criddlestyle
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.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Choked outlets and gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Criddlestyle often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Criddlestyle
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 cottages and farmhouses around Criddlestyle can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Landlord roof surveys around Criddlestyle
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Breamore House, about 3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Criddlestyle. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like St Giles are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
