About our landlord roof survey in Kempshott
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Kempshott and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking joints at party walls and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
In a smaller place like Kempshott, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a survey in Kempshott, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

What we’re asked to look at in Kempshott
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you run a business near The Malls, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Useful tips for Kempshott property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Keep the roof space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

FAQs for Kempshott
Is Kempshott within the area you cover?
Yes, Kempshott is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Kempshott listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, 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 we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
How much is a landlord roof survey?

Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
