Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ramsdean
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We are often asked to look into slipped or missing slates and tiles and damaged pots and flaunching, on gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Ramsdean, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Ramsdean, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice

What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Ramsdean, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.

See our cost guide or two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Ramsdean questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Ramsdean listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
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 every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is Ramsdean in your area?
Yes. We cover Ramsdean and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- How big the roof is
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Ramsdean
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys in Ramsdean: local notes
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 check with the council. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Langrish Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Petersfield station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
