Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hattingley
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks into upper flats and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Hattingley 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Hattingley, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

When to book a survey in Hattingley
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Leaks into upper flats
Take a building like Medstead Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
Honest limits
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

Landlord roof surveys in Hattingley: local notes
Historic houses like Bentworth Hall, about 1.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hattingley goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
