Leave it or get it looked at?
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. On a bungalow or cottage around Eastrop, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How a landlord roof survey works in Eastrop
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and choked outlets and gutters, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Houses in smaller places like Eastrop can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
How it works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a smaller place like Eastrop, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- 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.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

FAQs for Eastrop
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
Is my home in Eastrop listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Landlord roof surveys in Eastrop: local notes
The Vyne, about 2.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Eastrop. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Basingstoke station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes 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 shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What affects the price in Eastrop
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
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 don’t climb up for a closer look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
