Sparsholt questions
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Sparsholt?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How a landlord roof survey works in Sparsholt
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. 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 seven days a week, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and leaks into upper flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats alike.
Somewhere as small as Sparsholt, 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’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Sparsholt
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
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 survey around it.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Sparsholt homes and their roofs
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask. 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.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Stephen are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Winchester station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Older and listed buildings around Sparsholt may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Sparsholt
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Anyone responsible for a site like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What experience they bring
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Sparsholt, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
