Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Penton Mewsey
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and worn ridges, hips and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Penton Mewsey, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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 what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Local roofs in Penton Mewsey
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:

Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
Why act early in Penton Mewsey
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For older village homes like those around Penton Mewsey, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

When you need someone else

- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses

What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Penton Mewsey needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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 be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Penton Mewsey questions
Is Penton Mewsey within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What we’re asked to look at in Penton Mewsey
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you look after a building such as Harrow Way Community School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What experience they bring
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How we price landlord roof surveys

- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
