How a landlord roof survey works in Greywell
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about leaking joints at party walls and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Greywell, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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 we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Local roofs in Greywell
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert May's School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Greywell is about 6 miles east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Greywell is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Across Hampshire, we cover Greywell and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Why act early in Greywell
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Greywell
Will you come out to Greywell?
Yes, Greywell is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can a landlord with a rental near Hook station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What we are asked to look at in Greywell
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
For landlords with property near Hook station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
