Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little London
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. 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. If you are worried about damaged pots and flaunching and cracked or lifting flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Little London, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Little London questions
Do you cover smaller places like Little London?
Yes. Little London is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little London?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Local roofs in Little London
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Anyone responsible for a site like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Little London, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
You receive a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included.
