Landlord roof survey in Foxcotte, Hampshire

- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Standing water on a flat roof
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey 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 Foxcotte can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
Book a survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Landlord roof survey in Foxcotte: what you get
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and rented houses alike.
Some older homes in villages like Foxcotte are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Foxcotte
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Foxcotte?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Foxcotte?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Local roofs in Foxcotte
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Thomas, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a place like Foxcotte, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Common roof problems in Foxcotte
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Harrow Way Community School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What happens after the report arrives
- What experience they bring
Useful tips for Foxcotte property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
