How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Landlord roof survey in Kimpton
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs, and people most often book us about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
Some older homes in villages like Kimpton 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What affects the price in Kimpton
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
What we are asked to look at in Kimpton
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Flashings that have come away
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What follow-up you get after the report
Kimpton homes and their roofs
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 the council is the place to ask. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Kimpton
Is my home in Kimpton listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you work in Kimpton?
Yes. We cover Kimpton and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Kimpton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
