Thedden Landlord Roof Survey
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Thedden and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
What we’re asked to look at in Thedden
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaks into upper flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
For landlords with property near Alton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
About our landlord roof survey in Thedden
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Thedden, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Common questions in Thedden
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Thedden?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Thedden?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Thedden?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when booking.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Anything about access we should know
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Thedden, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where 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
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Booking a survey

Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Outbuildings and barns around Thedden are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Landlord roof surveys around Thedden
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Bentworth Hall about 1 mile west, Thedden sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take an older house close to St Peter's: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amery Hill School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
