How a landlord roof survey works in Kingsley
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and standing water on a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Kingsley, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Kingsley
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What happens after the report arrives
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Responsibility under a lease
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.

Local roofs in Kingsley
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mill Chase Academy, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Kingsley questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Is Kingsley within the area you cover?
Yes, Kingsley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you check 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.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Kingsley can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
