About our landlord roof survey in Whitchurch
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are choked outlets and gutters and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
In a smaller place like Whitchurch, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Local roofs in Whitchurch
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Hallows, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What else we do in Whitchurch
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Whitchurch
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Honest limits
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits

- Flat roofs on blocks
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Parking around Whitchurch is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Related advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Whitchurch
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Whitchurch?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Whitchurch?
Yes. Whitchurch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Why get it checked now?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Blocked gutters on homes around Whitchurch overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
