Atherfield Green Landlord Roof Survey
Get a clear view of the let or shared roof at a property in Atherfield Green. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Deal with urgent items first
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Landlord roof survey in Atherfield Green
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Atherfield Green and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a small place like Atherfield Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What happens on the day

All in, the survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Atherfield Green, access is normally the main thing to plan.

- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to, and the report says what was seen.
What we cannot see
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Atherfield Green
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Atherfield Green, 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. Wolverton Manor, about 2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Atherfield Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Around Atherfield Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Common questions in Atherfield Green
Do you cover smaller places like Atherfield Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Atherfield Green?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How we price landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
