Local roofs in Golden Pot
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Golden Pot has a long history of building, with Hall Place about 3.5 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Landlord roof survey in Golden Pot
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or lifting flashings and blocked gutters over flats.
Some older homes in villages like Golden Pot 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Golden Pot
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
We will normally ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Responsibility under a lease
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

FAQs for Golden Pot
Is Golden Pot within the area you cover?
Yes, Golden Pot is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Golden Pot
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
What we are asked to look at in Golden Pot
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Standing water on a flat roof
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking anyone
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. 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 on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Golden Pot can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
