FAQs for Elvetham
I let a flat near Fleet station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is Elvetham within the area you cover?
Yes. Elvetham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Landlord roof survey in Elvetham
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. Typical surveys look at gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
In a small place like Elvetham, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Elvetham can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Landlord roof surveys around Elvetham
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Hart Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you look after a building such as Elvetham Heath Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Homes near green spaces like The Views Meadow can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
For landlords and managing agents
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.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
