Landlord roof survey in Hill Grove: 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 over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What else we do in Hill Grove
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Hill Grove 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Hill Grove: your questions answered
Is Hill Grove within the area you cover?
Yes. Hill Grove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hill Grove is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hill Grove?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s 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 it applies, the Premium Survey.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Hill Grove?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Anyone responsible for a site like Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Landlord roof surveys in Hill Grove: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Barnabas, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Botley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
