Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Isington
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Isington are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
A survey is a proper look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check

Isington questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Isington listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Isington homes and their roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Farnham Castle about 4.6 miles north-east, Isington sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Landlords with a home close to Bentley (Hampshire) station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Binsted Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Isington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft 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
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Why it’s worth a survey now in Isington
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like Isington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
