What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Micheldever can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

About our landlord roof survey in Micheldever
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We are frequently asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and damaged pots and flaunching, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, 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.

What else we do in Micheldever
What happens if roof problems are left?
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’re asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Micheldever, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why us?
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- An independent look at the roof
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Surveys on any day of the week

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Micheldever
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Micheldever CofE Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Micheldever
Is my home in Micheldever listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Micheldever station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Is Micheldever in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Micheldever.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
You receive a report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Micheldever
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
