About our landlord roof survey in South Harewood
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you are worried about worn ridges, hips and verges and choked outlets and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like South Harewood may be 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

South Harewood questions
Will you come out to South Harewood?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
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 and force rushed work. For older village homes like those around South Harewood, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in South Harewood
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. An older home may be listed, or stand 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like South Harewood, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Common roof problems in South Harewood
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wherwell 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
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their report turnaround times
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
