Landlord roof survey in Ellisfield, Hampshire
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Ellisfield, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
How a landlord roof survey works in Ellisfield
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders 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 flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Some older homes in villages like Ellisfield are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Landlord roof surveys around Ellisfield
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Ellisfield has a long history of building, with Hall Place about 3.9 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Martin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- File each roof report for future reference
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Ellisfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
