Landlord roof survey in Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire
Landlord roof surveys around Headbourne Worthy, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Headbourne Worthy needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Advice
About our landlord roof survey in Headbourne Worthy
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. Typical surveys look at ponding or splits on flat roofs and mortar falling from ridges and verges, on blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Headbourne Worthy, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

FAQs for Headbourne Worthy
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchester station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Headbourne Worthy listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Headbourne Worthy
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common roof problems in Headbourne Worthy
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you look after a building such as Kings Worthy Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
When you need someone else
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and downpipes

Useful tips for Headbourne Worthy property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
