Ibsley homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Martins, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For any home in Ibsley, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Ibsley is in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Ibsley across London and South East England. Ibsley is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for landlord roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ibsley
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Ibsley and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
In a village or hamlet like Ibsley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Ibsley
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks

- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Ibsley
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can be seen safely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. They’re checked where safe access allows.

Tips that help
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Ibsley, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Questions from Ibsley
Is Ibsley in the area you cover?
Yes, Ibsley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ibsley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Ibsley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ibsley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
