Common questions in Elvetham Heath
Is Elvetham Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, Elvetham Heath is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Fleet station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Landlord roof survey in Elvetham Heath
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the roof space where there is safe access. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and worn ridges, hips and verges, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Around Elvetham Heath, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Elvetham Heath doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

- Blocks of flats

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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.

Elvetham Heath homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Fleet station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live near a park like The Views Meadow, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Elvetham Heath
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
For an older house near a landmark such as Church on the Heath, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
