Landlord roof survey in Hound Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
Some older homes in villages like Hound Green 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hound Green
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Hound Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Why act early in Hound Green
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a small place like Hound Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hound Green
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Hound Green has a long history of building, with Stratfield Saye House about 2.4 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near Mattingley Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hound Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hook station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hound Green?
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.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
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.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
