Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Axmansford
We survey let and shared roofs in Axmansford and across London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photos. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on blocks of flats, converted houses and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Axmansford 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
When to book a survey in Axmansford
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. They all age at different rates, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to Church of St Stephen: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot 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.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Axmansford
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Axmansford goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like The Hurst School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you own a rental within reach of Midgham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In a small place like Axmansford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Axmansford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Find any records of previous roof work
