Landlord roof survey in Wolverton Common
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Somewhere as small as Wolverton Common, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Wolverton Common: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Midgham station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wolverton Common?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Wolverton Common can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Wolverton Common
To price your survey, we check:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The shape of the roof and its details
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

- What’s prompted the survey

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Landlord roof surveys around Wolverton Common
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Midgham station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Catherine, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Useful tips for Wolverton Common property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
