How a landlord roof survey works in the Isle of Wight

A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. Common reasons to book are damaged pots and flaunching and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.

First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

Landmarks near Newport

Typical jobs here are in homes near Seaclose Park, Castle Inn and Island Innovation VI Form Campus. Also close by are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west) and Nine Acres Primary School (within half a mile south). A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). For a walk, there is Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Homes and roofs across the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to smaller places, people across the Isle of Wight use a roof survey to plan ahead. Small faults, caught early, are far easier to deal with.

The South East’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around several of its airports, so every drone flight in the Isle of Wight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Flights that need permission only go ahead once it’s given. Near the sea in the Isle of Wight, roofs face stronger wind and salt-laden air, and metal fixings and lead suffer for it. After a storm, the seaward side of a roof is the place to look first.

Newport: With Carisbrooke Castle about 1 mile south-west, the area around Newport has a long history. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. Homes near green spaces such as Seaclose Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What a survey does not cover

Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:

Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
Legal advice on leases or service charges
A full structural assessment of the building

How the survey changes by roof type

Roof spaces and lofts

The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe looking for water marks and gaps.

Shared chimney stacks

Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey

A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.

People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:

Blocked gutters over flats
Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Missing or loose roof coverings
Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings

Landlord and commercial surveys in the Isle of Wight

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.

Before and after the survey

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:

Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Arrange flat access in advance
Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Make sure the roof space can be accessed

If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.

Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.

Common questions in the Isle of Wight

How much time does the visit need?

For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.

Is this survey just for landlords?

We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Do you use drones?

It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on any day of the week.

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. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
