Landlord roof surveys in Mockbeggar: local notes
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of St Martins: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

About our landlord roof survey in Mockbeggar
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you’ve noticed cracked or leaning shared chimneys and missing or loose roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Mockbeggar may be 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Mockbeggar, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- A full structural assessment of the building

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
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. Do not go up yourself.
Mockbeggar: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Mockbeggar is listed?
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.
Is Mockbeggar in the area you cover?
Yes, Mockbeggar is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
