How a landlord roof survey works in West Tisted
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We are frequently asked to look into splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and rented houses.
In a village or hamlet like West Tisted, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. 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 is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Common roof problems in West Tisted
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary Magdalene: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around West Tisted often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave side gates unlocked

Why it’s worth a survey now in West Tisted
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. In a place like West Tisted, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Packages from £150, including VAT
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Responsibility under a lease

Prices for landlord roof surveys in West Tisted
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Which survey package you book
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

FAQs for West Tisted
How do I find out if my home in West Tisted is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in West Tisted?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and West Tisted is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need as you book.
How much time does the visit need?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof surveys in West Tisted: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Hinton Ampner House about 3.6 miles west, West Tisted sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
