Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in North Waltham
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and converted houses, and people most frequently book us about cracked or lifting flashings and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a small place like North Waltham, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in North Waltham
I let a flat near Micheldever station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Is my home in North Waltham listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is North Waltham in your area?
Yes, we do. North Waltham is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
North Waltham homes and their roofs
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St. Michael's, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Waltham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Arrange flat access beforehand
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Waltham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near North Waltham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
