How a landlord roof survey works in Meonstoke
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are ceiling stains reported by tenants and missing or loose roof coverings.
Some older homes in villages like Meonstoke are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Meonstoke, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before you book.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Tell tenants when we are coming
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Meonstoke can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Meonstoke: your questions answered
Do you cover Meonstoke?
Yes, Meonstoke is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Meonstoke?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Responsibility under a lease
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at

Meonstoke homes and their roofs
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Hinton Ampner House about 4.8 miles north, Meonstoke sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
