Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Drayton
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are loose ridge or hip tiles and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Drayton, 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Drayton
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you own a rental within reach of Petersfield station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Questions from Drayton
I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Drayton listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Drayton in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Drayton.
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.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Drayton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Local roofs in Drayton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
