Landlord roof survey in Crow: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and cracked or lifting flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Crow, 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 frequently 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 typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Why act early in Crow
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. For older village homes like those around Crow, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft 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. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Crow, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Crow: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Crow is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Crow?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Crow is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crow
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Crow goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Crow
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Ringwood Junior School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
