Landlord roof survey in The Hangers: what you get
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, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged pots and flaunching and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Somewhere as small as The Hangers, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Questions from The Hangers
How do I find out if my home in The Hangers is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to The Hangers?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Are you insured?
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.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Local roofs in The Hangers
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own a rental within reach of Botley station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take a building like Bishops Waltham Infant School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why act early in The Hangers
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like The Hangers, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like The Hangers can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
