About our landlord roof survey in Oakley
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you are worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and leaks into upper flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Houses in smaller places like Oakley can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Oakley
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Common questions in Oakley
I let a flat near Overton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Oakley?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What does a roof survey cost?
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.
Why it is worth a survey now in Oakley
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. With lower homes, common in places like Oakley, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Useful tips for Oakley property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Oakley
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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Oakley CE Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. The streets around a church such as St John's are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Overton station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

What else we do in Oakley
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a survey in Oakley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
