Landlord roof survey in Itchen Stoke, Hampshire
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Itchen Stoke? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Itchen Stoke and across Hampshire.
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can safely be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
About our landlord roof survey in Itchen Stoke
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Itchen Stoke 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For an older or listed building in a place like Itchen Stoke, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

Itchen Stoke homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 4 miles south-east lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Itchen Stoke has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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.

FAQs for Itchen Stoke
Will you come out to Itchen Stoke?
Yes, Itchen Stoke is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Itchen Stoke in the area you cover?
Yes, Itchen Stoke is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Itchen Stoke as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How do I book a survey in Itchen Stoke?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
When to book a survey in Itchen Stoke
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you look after a building like Perins School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Choosing a roof surveyor
