Wells-in-the-Field Landlord Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you spend money on it. Landlord roof surveys in Wells-in-the-Field.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Landlord roof survey in Wells-in-the-Field: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Responsibility under a lease
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
What we’re asked to look at in Wells-in-the-Field
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
Take a building like Whitchurch Church of England Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there’s safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Wells-in-the-Field
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Questions from Wells-in-the-Field
Can a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
