Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Longparish
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. We are frequently asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and leaking joints at party walls, across blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a small place like Longparish, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
Landlords, agents and building managers in Longparish and across Hampshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Longparish, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Longparish?
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Flashings that have come away
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Local roofs in Longparish
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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Longparish Church of England Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
You receive a report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Longparish, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Longparish
I let a flat near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is Longparish within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
