The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Priors, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s 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 will 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.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hurstbourne Priors
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Hurstbourne Priors and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most frequently book us about gutters overflowing onto walls and worn ridges, hips and verges.
In a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Priors, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hurstbourne Priors
I let a flat near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hurstbourne Priors?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hurstbourne Priors?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What we are asked to look at in Hurstbourne Priors
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
We are often asked to look at:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you look after a building such as Testbourne Community School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- Their report turnaround times
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

What else we do in Hurstbourne Priors
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes

Hurstbourne Priors homes and their roofs
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 the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
