Tidworth Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Tidworth? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Tidworth and across Hampshire.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How a landlord roof survey works in Tidworth
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. Surveys are carried out on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and choked outlets and gutters.
In a smaller place like Tidworth, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. A visit to a smaller place like Tidworth is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Landlord roof surveys in Tidworth: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as The Wellington Academy, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. With lower homes, common in places like Tidworth, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
