Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
About our landlord roof survey in Arreton
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. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and mortar falling from ridges and verges, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Arreton are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Arreton homes and their roofs
Arreton lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. The wider area around Arreton has a long history of building, with Arreton Manor about 0.5 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For landlords with property near Sandown station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Arreton can all book landlord roof surveys. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover Arreton. For surveys nearby, see our Portsmouth page.
All of PO30 is within our area for landlord roof surveys. That includes homes and businesses on Cherrywood View, Hopkins Walk and Hazely Combe and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in Merstone (1 mile south-west), Downend (1 mile north), Hale Common (1 mile south), Newchurch (1 mile south-east) and Branstone (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Newport (3 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles east), Shanklin (4 miles south-east) and Ventnor (5 miles south). For harder-to-reach addresses, the survey takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Arreton, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us 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.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Arreton?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Flashings that have come away
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
If you live in an older home near St. George's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Other services in Arreton
Landlords, agents and block managers in Arreton
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Arreton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Arreton
How do I find out if my home in Arreton is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sandown station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
