FAQs for Exton
Do you cover smaller places like Exton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is my home in Exton listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Exton
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Exton and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and flashings that have come away.
Somewhere as small as Exton, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. For older village homes like those around Exton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Exton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Exton has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles north. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Exton?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Flashings that have come away
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 house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Exton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
