Common questions in Over Wallop
Can a landlord with a rental near Grateley station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Over Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Over Wallop?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
About our landlord roof survey in Over Wallop
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the loft space where there’s safe access. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and standing water on a flat roof.
In a small place like Over Wallop, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.

It typically takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.

Why act early in Over Wallop
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Over Wallop, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Visits on any day of the week

Over Wallop homes and their roofs
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What’s near Over Wallop
Typical jobs here are in homes near The White Hart Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Grateley station, roughly 2 miles north-west of the centre. Not far away are Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve and Quarley Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Over Wallop
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
When to book a survey in Over Wallop
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallop Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
