Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
Landlord roof survey in Owslebury Bottom
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at ponding or splits on flat roofs and leaking joints at party walls, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Owslebury Bottom, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Owslebury Bottom can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Local roofs in Owslebury Bottom
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church like Church of St Andrew are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Shawford station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Owslebury Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Common questions in Owslebury Bottom
I let a flat near Shawford station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Owslebury Bottom?
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.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You will then get the report by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
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.
