When to book a survey in Hatherden
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 and by then more has been damaged.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
For landlords with property near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What they will not be able to tell you
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Landlord roof survey in Hatherden: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Hatherden may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Why act early in Hatherden
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Hatherden, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
How we price landlord roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:

Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:

FAQs for Hatherden
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatherden?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you cover Hatherden for landlord roof surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Hatherden.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Landlord roof surveys around Hatherden
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Christchurch, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Hatherden Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
