New Alresford Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys in New Alresford from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our landlord roof survey in New Alresford
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and choked outlets and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like New Alresford, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

New Alresford: your questions answered
Do you cover New Alresford?
Yes, New Alresford is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like New Alresford?
Yes, New Alresford is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a survey in New Alresford, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in New Alresford
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Choked outlets and gutters
Anyone responsible for a site like Sun Hill Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Which limits apply to the survey
- When you’ll get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. On a bungalow or cottage around New Alresford, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
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.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, with VAT included
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- An independent look at the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in New Alresford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Hinton Ampner House, about 3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around New Alresford. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
