Landlord roof survey in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Hartley Wintney from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hartley Wintney?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How soon the report will arrive
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Landlord roof survey in Hartley Wintney
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Hartley Wintney and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about damaged pots and flaunching and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Hartley Wintney

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Hartley Wintney, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Common questions in Hartley Wintney
Is my home in Hartley Wintney listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Hartley Wintney?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
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 aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease normally decides who is responsible and we don’t give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Why act early in Hartley Wintney
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Homes in smaller places like Hartley Wintney can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

Landlord roof surveys around Hartley Wintney
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Greenfields Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
