How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older rural homes like those around Wherwell Wood can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.

Landlord roof survey in Wherwell Wood: what you get
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, 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. If you are worried about cracked or lifting flashings and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Wherwell Wood, older cottages and farmhouses often 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord roof surveys in Wherwell Wood: local notes
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For landlords with property near Andover station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Wherwell Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Wherwell Wood: your questions answered
Is my home in Wherwell Wood listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Andover station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are 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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Wherwell Wood?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. For an older or listed building in a place like Wherwell Wood, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
