Red Post Bridge: your questions answered
Is Red Post Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Red Post Bridge is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Red Post Bridge listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we will say so.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll give you an idea when you book.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
About our landlord roof survey in Red Post Bridge
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Typical surveys look at chimney stacks in poor repair and leaking joints at party walls, across rented houses, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a small place like Red Post Bridge, many roofs stand in the open, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Landlord roof surveys in Red Post Bridge: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like John Hanson Community School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey works

- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.

What happens if roof problems are left?

For an older or listed building in a place like Red Post Bridge, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
