Landlord roof survey in Shedfield: what you get
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’re worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and parapets and upstands in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Shedfield, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Questions from Shedfield
Will you come out to Shedfield?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Shedfield listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Local roofs in Shedfield
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 the council is the place to ask. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Botley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we are asked to look at in Shedfield
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling, by which point the damage has spread.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or lifting flashings
Take a building like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the survey will not cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Shedfield, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof 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
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Outbuildings and barns around Shedfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
