Timsbury questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Timsbury?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Timsbury within the area you cover?
Yes, Timsbury is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it’s a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Timsbury
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We’re frequently asked to look into flashings that have come away and loose ridge or hip tiles, across converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Timsbury, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
For a price for your roof in Timsbury, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Deal with urgent items first
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a small place like Timsbury, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Timsbury?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Andrew, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Why act early in Timsbury
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. For an older or listed building in a place like Timsbury, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Timsbury
The wider area around Timsbury has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 1.6 miles north-west. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Stanbridge Earls School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
