Landlord roof survey in Awbridge
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently 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 photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. Typical surveys look at parapets and upstands in poor repair and gutters overflowing onto walls, across converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Awbridge 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Awbridge frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Find any records of previous roof work
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Awbridge
About 2 miles north lies Mottisfont Abbey, a reminder of how long the area around Awbridge has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Anyone responsible for a site like Awbridge Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Awbridge is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. We survey roofs in Awbridge and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East. Our Hampshire coverage includes Awbridge. We also survey roofs in Southampton.

Why it is worth a survey now in Awbridge
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A report with photos
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Landlords, agents and block managers in Awbridge
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Awbridge
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked gutters over flats
Landlords with a home close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What insurance they carry
Awbridge questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building.
Is Awbridge within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
