Landlord roof survey in Upper Froyle, Hampshire
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Upper Froyle, with photographs and a written report.
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
How a landlord roof survey works in Upper Froyle
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 on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are ceiling stains reported by tenants and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Froyle may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What we do, step by step

Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Upper Froyle, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Upper Froyle
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Eggar's School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary of the Assumption: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of Bentley (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
