Landlord roof survey in North Street, Hampshire
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in North Street, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
When to book a survey in North Street
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
If you look after a building such as Ropley Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will the report include photos?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Street
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates and tiles and ceiling stains reported by tenants, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for North Street
Is North Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Street?
Yes, North Street is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it, so residents need notice.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable 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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. In a small place like North Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

See our cost guide or our case studies.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Responsibility under a lease
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask residents to report damp right away
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in North Street
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 3.9 miles north lies Bentworth Hall, a reminder of how long the area around North Street has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around North Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
