Landlord roof survey in Heath End, Hampshire
Get a clear view of the let or shared roof at a property in Heath End. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Heath End, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book

Advice
Landlord roof survey in Heath End: what you get
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the roof space where there is safe access. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damaged pots and flaunching.
In a village or hamlet like Heath End, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Heath End questions
Is my home in Heath End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Heath End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Heath End?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Heath End homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently 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. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so check with the council.
If you own a rental within reach of Midgham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Heath End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
