Landlord roof survey in Monkwood
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and choked outlets and gutters, on rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Monkwood 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why act early in Monkwood
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For older village homes like those around Monkwood, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and two real surveys.
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Monkwood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Landlord roof surveys around Monkwood
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4.8 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Monkwood has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Monkwood?
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Look out for signs like these:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
For an older house near a landmark such as Monkwood Mission Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- What the survey will not cover
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What follow-up you get after the report
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
