Landlord roof survey in Hampshire: how it works

A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at damp or stains in top-floor flats and slipped or missing slates and tiles, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses.

Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs.

  1. We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
  2. You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
  3. We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
  4. Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
  5. You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.

Landlord roof surveys across Hampshire: local notes

Older homes across Hampshire often keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Gutters, valleys and fixings come next.

Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. Ridges, verges and flashings in Hampshire are where it normally shows. Near the sea in Hampshire, roofs face stronger wind and salt-laden air. Ridges and verges facing the sea are worth checking after every big storm.

Basingstoke: Shop and office owners around The Malls may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Landlords with a home close to Basingstoke station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Useful tips for Hampshire property owners

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

  • Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
  • Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
  • Hold on to old reports to compare later
  • Act on high-priority defects quickly

You receive a written report with photographs and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.

Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

For landlords and managing agents

We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.

When you need someone else

To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:

  • Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
  • Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
  • The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Why roofs fail

Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.

These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:

  • Damaged pots and flaunching
  • Ponding or splits on flat roofs
  • Flashings that have come away
  • Worn ridges, hips and verges

Roof by roof

Party-wall upstands and parapets

We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.

Shared chimney stacks

Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.

Questions from Hampshire

Which days do you carry out surveys?

We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.

How many surveys have you done?

Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.

How long will you be on site?

Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.

It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
