About our landlord roof survey in Hartley Wespall
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and ceiling stains reported by tenants, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
What affects the price in Hartley Wespall
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Hartley Wespall can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

Hartley Wespall homes and their roofs
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House, about 2.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hartley Wespall goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Bramley (Hants) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Sherfield School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Hartley Wespall: your questions answered
Is my home in Hartley Wespall listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Hartley Wespall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
