Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Winklebury
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. 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. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Around Winklebury, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Winklebury
The Vyne, about 3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Winklebury. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near The Malls, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you own a rental within reach of Basingstoke station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Castle Hill Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Winklebury is about 1 mile west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire.

Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Blocked gutters on homes around Winklebury overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Winklebury, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Advice
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
FAQs for Winklebury
Is my home in Winklebury listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Winklebury?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
