Landlord Roof Survey in St Mary Bourne
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in St Mary Bourne? You can book a landlord roof survey in St Mary Bourne and across Hampshire.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like St Mary Bourne, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

How a landlord roof survey works in St Mary Bourne
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed ceiling stains reported by tenants and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as St Mary Bourne, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in St Mary Bourne
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) 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: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

When to book a survey in St Mary Bourne
Roofs on let and shared buildings frequently get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak, by which point the damage has spread.
Look out for signs like these:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary Bourne Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
St Mary Bourne questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is St Mary Bourne within the area you cover?
Yes, St Mary Bourne is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
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.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I book a survey in St Mary Bourne?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Why it is worth a survey now in St Mary Bourne
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
