Landlord roof survey in Faberstown, Hampshire
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Faberstown? You can book a landlord roof survey in Faberstown and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Cracked or lifting flashings
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Faberstown, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
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.

How a landlord roof survey works in Faberstown
We survey let and shared roofs in Faberstown and across London and South East England. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. Common reasons to book are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and gutters overflowing onto walls, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Faberstown, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

Faberstown: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Faberstown?
Yes, Faberstown is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Faberstown homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
