About our landlord roof survey in Hawkley
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are mortar falling from ridges and verges and leaking joints at party walls.
Somewhere as small as Hawkley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Hawkley: your questions answered
Is my home in Hawkley listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Hawkley?
Yes, Hawkley is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that is a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How do I book a survey in Hawkley?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hawkley
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What affects the price in Hawkley
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Hawkley homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Liss station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Check the roof space can be accessed
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Hawkley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
