Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Salters Heath
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. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at blocked gutters over flats and cracked or lifting flashings, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Salters Heath may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Landlord roof surveys around Salters Heath
The Vyne, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Salters Heath. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. The streets around a church such as Pamber Priory 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.
Salters Heath is about 3 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. If you’re in Salters Heath, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Across Hampshire, we cover Salters Heath and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Reading.

What else we do in Salters Heath
How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Salters Heath 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.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Salters Heath
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
Take a building like The Priory Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Salters Heath
Is my home in Salters Heath listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Salters Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For an older or listed building in a place like Salters Heath, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Deal with urgent items first
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
