About our landlord roof survey in Mapledurwell
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and missing or loose roof coverings.
Somewhere as small as Mapledurwell, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Mapledurwell can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Mapledurwell: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Mapledurwell is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Mapledurwell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How do I book a survey in Mapledurwell?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. For older village homes like those around Mapledurwell, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- PI and public liability insurance
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
Mapledurwell homes and their roofs
Historic houses like The Vyne, about 4.4 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Mapledurwell goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Festival Place, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St. Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

For landlords and managing agents
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
