How a landlord roof survey works in Penton Grafton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about missing or loose roof coverings and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Penton Grafton
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Local roofs in Penton Grafton
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
Take a building like Harrow Way Community School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Penton Grafton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.

Penton Grafton questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Penton Grafton listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Is Penton Grafton in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Penton Grafton.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Check the roof space can be accessed
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
