What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Leckford
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and blocked gutters over flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Leckford may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Common questions in Leckford
Is my home in Leckford listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Leckford?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Leckford is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
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. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How long will you be on site?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Common roof problems in Leckford
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, especially on taller buildings.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Leckford, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Deal with urgent items first
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- File each roof report for future reference
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Leckford
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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. 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.
If you live near a park such as Longstock Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Test Valley School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
