Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nether Wallop
We survey let and shared roofs in Nether Wallop and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Nether Wallop, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
What we cannot see
A survey is a careful look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Nether Wallop 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. 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
For landlords with property near Grateley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Wallop Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

When to book a survey in Nether Wallop
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Flashings that have come away
The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Nether Wallop, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What affects the price in Nether Wallop
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
