About our landlord roof survey in Sutton Scotney
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. Common reasons to book are mortar falling from ridges and verges and leaks into upper flats, across gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Scotney, homes are often 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Sutton Scotney?
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Common reasons to book include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you live in an older home near Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover

Sutton Scotney: your questions answered
Will you come out to Sutton Scotney?
Yes, Sutton Scotney is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Micheldever station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will you walk on the 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 it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Landlord roof surveys around Sutton Scotney
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Different roofs, different checks
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.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Sutton Scotney, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report

- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats

What affects the price in Sutton Scotney
When we price a survey, we consider:

Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
