About our landlord roof survey in Neatham
We survey let and shared roofs in Neatham and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about chimney stacks in poor repair and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Older buildings in small places like Neatham 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 frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Neatham 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 can’t see is noted.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Neatham
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around Neatham, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Landlord roof surveys in Neatham: local notes
With Bentworth Hall about 4.8 miles west, Neatham sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark like Holy Rood Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Neatham is about 2 miles north-east of Alton, in Hampshire. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Neatham and the surrounding area. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Guildford is in our area too.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Neatham
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
Anyone responsible for a site like Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Common questions in Neatham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Neatham?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Neatham?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when booking.
