Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
About our landlord roof survey in Odiham
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and damaged pots and flaunching.
Around Odiham, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

FAQs for Odiham
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Is Odiham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the roof space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Odiham
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
For landlords with property near Hook station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Mayhill Junior School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Nearby you’ll also find West Green House Agricultural Museum (3.3 miles north) and Odiham Castle (1.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Odiham includes Dogmersfield Lake and Tundry Hill.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Homes in smaller places like Odiham can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Odiham, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Common roof problems in Odiham
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
The streets around a church such as All Saints Church 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.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
DIY checks: what’s safe
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
