Landlord roof survey in Nately Scures
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a small place like Nately Scures, many roofs stand in the open, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often 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.

Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)

What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Nately Scures, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Common questions in Nately Scures
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Nately Scures is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We will confirm the timing as you book.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Why get it checked now?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain often means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. Older and listed buildings around Nately Scures may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Arrange flat access beforehand
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Nately Scures homes and their roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. With The Vyne about 4.9 miles north-west, Nately Scures sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Church of St. Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
