Landlord roof surveys around Hinton Ampner
The wider area around Hinton Ampner has a long history of building, with Hinton Ampner House about 0.3 miles south. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheriton Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How a landlord roof survey works in Hinton Ampner
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: 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. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the loft space where there is safe access. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
Some older homes in villages like Hinton Ampner are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Hinton Ampner can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

Hinton Ampner questions
Do you cover Hinton Ampner?
Yes, Hinton Ampner is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Hinton Ampner is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We will confirm what we need when you book.
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. For an older or listed building in a place like Hinton Ampner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
