About our landlord roof survey in Heckfield
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed worn ridges, hips and verges and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Heckfield may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Heckfield: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Heckfield?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Heckfield?
Yes, Heckfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
How do I book a survey in Heckfield?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Heckfield can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.

Heckfield homes and their roofs
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Stratfield Saye House, about 1.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Heckfield. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Homes near green spaces such as Wellington Country Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you look after a building like Daneshill School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
You receive a report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around Heckfield may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
What you get with us
- A report with photographs
- Surveys seven days a week
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
