Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Little Hoddington
How do I find out if my home in Little Hoddington is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Little Hoddington within the area you cover?
Yes, Little Hoddington is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How much time does the visit need?
It typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little Hoddington
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the 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 are given access to. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Little Hoddington, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Little Hoddington
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. For an older or listed building in a place like Little Hoddington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
