Long Sutton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Long Sutton?
Yes. Long Sutton 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 when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Long Sutton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How a landlord roof survey works in Long Sutton
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We’re frequently asked to look into missing or loose roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Some older homes in villages like Long Sutton are 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Long Sutton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets in another room

Related advice
What we’re asked to look at in Long Sutton
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Leaks into upper flats
If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before you book anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Local roofs in Long Sutton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Long Sutton Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
