Landlord roof survey in Hyde, Hampshire
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Hyde, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hyde
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In an older home around Hyde, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

About our landlord roof survey in Hyde
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
Around Hyde, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What we’re asked to look at in Hyde
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you look after a building like St Bede Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the price includes VAT
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hyde
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Trees in and around St. Cross Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.
Helping us price your survey
We will typically ask about:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Questions from Hyde
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde?
Yes. Hyde is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a survey in Hyde, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
