What we’re asked to look at in Quarley
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
About our landlord roof survey in Quarley
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at leaks into upper flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Why act early in Quarley
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Outbuildings and barns around Quarley are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Useful tips for Quarley property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Quarley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Landlord roof surveys around Quarley
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Common questions in Quarley
Is Quarley within the area you cover?
Yes, Quarley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I find out if my home in Quarley is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
