Landlords, agents and block managers in Tangley
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
How a roof survey works in Tangley
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey lead flashings, the roof space and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are torn or sagging underlay and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters.
Somewhere as small as Tangley, 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. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Tangley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.

Before we arrive

If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tangley
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Andover station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common roof problems in Tangley
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St Thomas of Canterbury: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped.
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
FAQs for Tangley
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Tangley listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
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.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. In a small place like Tangley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
