How a landlord roof survey works in North Charford
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a village or hamlet like North Charford, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Landlord roof surveys around North Charford
Breamore House, about 2.8 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Charford. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Hale Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in North Charford?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Questions from North Charford

Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey

- When you need the report by
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like North Charford, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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 is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
