How a landlord roof survey works in Shalden Green
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We’re frequently asked to look into missing or loose roof coverings and blocked gutters over flats, across rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Shalden Green are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Shalden Green
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Shalden Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Shalden Green homes and their roofs
The wider area around Shalden Green has a long history of building, with Hall Place about 3.1 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.

- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Shalden Green, 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. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Advice
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
