Why act early in Hambledon
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. For an older or listed building in a place like Hambledon, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

Landlord roof survey in Hambledon
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We’re frequently asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and missing or loose roof coverings, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Hambledon, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Hambledon often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Local roofs in Hambledon
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hambledon Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

More services for Hambledon
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hambledon
Landlords and agents in Hambledon book surveys as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

FAQs for Hambledon
Is Hambledon in the area you cover?
Yes, Hambledon is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Hambledon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Hambledon
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul are frequently 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.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
