Landlord roof survey in Palestine, Hampshire
Landlord roof surveys in Palestine, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Palestine, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Palestine
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and flashings that have come away.
In a village or hamlet like Palestine, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
What we’re asked to look at in Palestine
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you look after a building like Grateley Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before you book anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Landlord roof surveys in Palestine: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Palestine has a long history of building, with Idmiston Manor about 4.7 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own a rental within reach of Grateley station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as Church of St Leonard are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Palestine: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Grateley station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Palestine?
Yes, Palestine is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For older village homes like those around Palestine, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
