Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Yateley
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We’re often asked to look into worn ridges, hips and verges and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
In a town like Yateley, older houses with slate or clay tile roofs normally sit alongside later estates with concrete tiles. Older homes often keep chimney stacks long after the fireplaces went, and their flashings and pointing still matter. Later houses have their own typical faults, from loose ridge tiles to blocked gutters.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. A typical visit in Yateley begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. Rear gardens and side paths frequently give the best view of extensions and back slopes. The loft comes next, where there’s safe access.
- 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Landlord roof surveys in Yateley: local notes
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 is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. 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.
Take a building like Yateley School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Yateley is about 4 miles north-west of Farnborough, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Yateley is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Yateley is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover for landlord roof surveys. There’s also a page for Reading.
We cover every part of GU46 for landlord roof surveys. Local streets include Hall Lane, Calcott Park and Wistaria Lane. With the B3272 close by, Yateley is simple for us to get to. Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in Darby Green (1 mile east), Eversley Cross (1 mile north-west), Little Sandhurst (1 mile north-east), Minley (2 miles south) and Eversley Centre (2 miles west).

Other landmarks nearby include Staff College Museum (3.6 miles east) and Pinewood Hospital (3.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Horseshoe Lake and Hitches Hill.
Why act early in Yateley
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Around Yateley, gutters that overflow soak the wall below. At roof level, a loose tile or tired flashing does the same. Neither gets better on its own.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Questions from Yateley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Yateley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Yateley?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Yateley is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
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 in the report.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease and we don’t give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen 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.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
When to book a survey in Yateley
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you live near a park such as Ambarrow Court, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What happens after the report arrives
- Are they insured for the work?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
