Landlord roof survey in Wadwick: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Wadwick and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. We’re often asked to look into choked outlets and gutters and ceiling stains reported by tenants, across converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Wadwick, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Wadwick needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Local roofs in Wadwick
Historic houses such as Highclere Castle, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Wadwick goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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.

Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What else we do in Wadwick
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Questions from Wadwick
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, that’s a common request. 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 Wadwick?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you work in Wadwick?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Wadwick.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
