How a landlord roof survey works in Upper Clatford
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Somewhere as small as Upper Clatford, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Upper Clatford
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What insurance they carry
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Common questions in Upper Clatford
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Upper Clatford?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. For older village homes like those around Upper Clatford, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
- A written report with photographs

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Upper Clatford
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Balksbury Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Upper Clatford
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
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.
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.
