About our landlord roof survey in East Cholderton
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and people most often book us about ceiling stains reported by tenants and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Surveys for landlords and agents in East Cholderton
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Why it is worth a survey now in East Cholderton
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Around East Cholderton, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near East Cholderton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

FAQs for East Cholderton
Do you cover smaller places like East Cholderton?
Yes, East Cholderton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in East Cholderton?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Local roofs in East Cholderton
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building like Amport Church of England Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
