Smannell questions
Is Smannell within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Smannell
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Smannell, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Smannell
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- What kind of property and roof it is
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys in Smannell: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Smannell
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Smannell, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
How to book

Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. For an older or listed building in a place like Smannell, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
