Landlord roof survey in South Warnborough: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Older buildings in small places like South Warnborough 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlord roof surveys in South Warnborough: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church like Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Hook station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building such as Robert May's School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like South Warnborough needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the loft space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you will need to arrange it.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
FAQs for South Warnborough
Will you come out to South Warnborough?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in South Warnborough is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need access to all the flats?
Sometimes, yes. If the roof space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
