About our landlord roof survey in Hartley Mauditt
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. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Hartley Mauditt may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Hartley Mauditt
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Landlords with a home close to Alton station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Common questions in Hartley Mauditt
Will you come out to Hartley Mauditt?
Yes, Hartley Mauditt is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Hartley Mauditt, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. For an older or listed building in a place like Hartley Mauditt, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Hartley Mauditt homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Leonard's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
