Landlord roof survey in Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire
Landlord roof surveys in Shipton Bellinger, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Standing water on a flat roof
Common roof problems in Shipton Bellinger
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Flashings that have come away
Take a building like Shipton Bellinger Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Shipton Bellinger
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked gutters over flats and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Some older homes in villages like Shipton Bellinger 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local roofs in Shipton Bellinger
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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.
Landlords with a home close to Grateley station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
