How a landlord roof survey works in Fyfield
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most frequently book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and leaking joints at party walls.
In a small place like Fyfield, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Fyfield
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Fyfield: your questions answered
Will you come out to Fyfield?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Useful tips for Fyfield property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Why act early in Fyfield
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Fyfield, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Fyfield, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Fyfield
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
