Kings Worthy homes and their roofs
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Winchester station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building such as Kings Worthy Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Kings Worthy
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into upper flats and missing or loose roof coverings.
Older buildings in small places like Kings Worthy may be 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Kings Worthy
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you’re buying, it is 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 phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
Report times depend 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.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kings Worthy can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Kings Worthy needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Common questions in Kings Worthy
How do I find out if my home in Kings Worthy is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Kings Worthy?
Yes, Kings Worthy is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
