Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Knights Enham
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and missing or loose roof coverings.
Somewhere as small as Knights Enham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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 is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Useful tips for Knights Enham property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.

Common questions in Knights Enham
Do you cover smaller places like Knights Enham?
Yes, Knights Enham is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
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 some details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. 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. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Knights Enham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Different roofs, different checks
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Older and listed buildings around Knights Enham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Knights Enham
- An independent view of the roof
- A report with photos
- Prices that include VAT
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Local roofs in Knights Enham
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 check with the council. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Roman Way Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
