Landlord roof survey in Ibthorpe
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses, and people most often book us about cracked or lifting flashings and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Somewhere as small as Ibthorpe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Common questions in Ibthorpe
Do you cover smaller places like Ibthorpe?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ibthorpe?
Yes, Ibthorpe is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ibthorpe as anywhere else.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Ibthorpe?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
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 we’ll say so.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ibthorpe
With Stargroves about 4.9 miles north-east, Ibthorpe sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Ibthorpe is about 5 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. Anywhere in Ibthorpe, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our Hampshire coverage includes Ibthorpe and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Ibthorpe, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- File each roof report for future reference
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
