What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. In a small place like Vernham Dean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Every finding written up with photos
- Surveys seven days a week

About our landlord roof survey in Vernham Dean
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are mortar falling from ridges and verges and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Vernham Dean 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common questions in Vernham Dean
Is my home in Vernham Dean listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Vernham Dean in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Vernham Dean as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a careful look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Blocks of flats

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:

- Building height and the viewpoints available

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Landlord roof surveys in Vernham Dean: local notes
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

- Missing or loose roof coverings

- Leaks into upper flats
Take a building like Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

- What experience they bring
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Vernham Dean can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
