Landlord roof survey in Frithend, Hampshire
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Frithend? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Frithend and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Frithend often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
How a landlord roof survey works in Frithend
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We are often asked to look into missing or loose roof coverings and chimney stacks in poor repair, on rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Frithend may be 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Frithend
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Around Frithend, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Frithend
- An independent view of the roof
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Photos and a written report every time

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
What we are asked to look at in Frithend
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether VAT is added on top
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Frithend: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Frithend?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Landlord roof surveys in Frithend: local notes
With Farnham Castle about 4.8 miles north-east, Frithend sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
