Landlord roof survey in Apse Heath
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and people most often book us about damaged pots and flaunching and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Apse Heath are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What affects the price in Apse Heath
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Apse Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

How do I find out if my home in Apse Heath is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
What insurance do you have?
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.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Party-wall upstands and parapets

Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
Local roofs in Apse Heath
Apse Heath lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older Isle of Wight buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandown Bay Academy will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Haseley Manor lies about 1.8 miles north-west, so building around Apse Heath goes back a long way. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.

What we are asked to look at in Apse Heath
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Useful tips for Apse Heath property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
