Landlord roof survey in Thruxton: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding or splits on flat roofs and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Thruxton may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Thruxton homes and their roofs
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Amport 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 else we do in Thruxton
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Common questions in Thruxton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Grateley station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Thruxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Thruxton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Thruxton?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Thruxton can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
