The survey, 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 an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Penton Corner, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- 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.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

About our landlord roof survey in Penton Corner
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into missing or loose roof coverings and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Penton Corner, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often 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 works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Penton Corner: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Penton Corner?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Penton Corner?
Yes. Penton Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you need access to all the flats?
We may do. Where the loft or roof can only be reached through a home, we will need to go in so please give residents notice.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
When to book a survey in Penton Corner
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Are they insured for the work?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Penton Corner, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Every finding written up with photos
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- An independent view of the roof

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Landlords and agents in Penton Corner book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Landlord roof surveys around Penton Corner
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Portway Junior School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
