Why get it checked now?

Older and listed buildings around Itchen Abbas may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

Landlord roof survey in Itchen Abbas
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. Common reasons to book are blocked gutters over flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across shared roofs, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Abbas, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently 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 often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What else we do in Itchen Abbas
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it is safe to see them.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Itchen Abbas
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Common roof problems in Itchen Abbas
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Questions from Itchen Abbas
Is Itchen Abbas within the area you cover?
Yes, Itchen Abbas is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Winchester station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Itchen Abbas
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 check with the council. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Winchester station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take a building like Itchen Abbas Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Itchen Abbas can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
