Find out the condition of the let or shared roof at your property in Minley. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.

Useful tips for Minley property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Minley
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed chimney stacks in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Older buildings in small places like Minley may be 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)

Questions from Minley
Is Minley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Minley?
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 this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How do I book a survey in Minley?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Minley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice

What affects the price in Minley
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. They’re checked during the survey.
Local roofs in Minley
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For landlords with property near Fleet station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Living close to Ancells Farm Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
