Landlord roof survey in Privett: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. 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’ve noticed failed flashings at walls and chimneys and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Privett may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Privett questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Privett?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Petersfield station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Privett?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ surveys completed

What we are asked to look at in Privett
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
Common reasons to book include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Will the report include photos?
- What insurance they carry
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
What we can’t see
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and downpipes

Local roofs in Privett
With Hinton Ampner House about 5 miles west, Privett sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often 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.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Privett can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
