Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bagnum
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaks into upper flats and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Somewhere as small as Bagnum, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Bagnum homes and their roofs
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. About 1.7 miles south-east lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Bagnum has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Bagnum is about 2 miles south-east of Ringwood, in Hampshire. Bagnum is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. Bagnum is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Bagnum
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Bagnum?
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Flashings that have come away
Anyone responsible for a site like Ringwood School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their insurance cover
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Bagnum, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

FAQs for Bagnum
Do you cover smaller places like Bagnum?
Yes, Bagnum is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Bagnum is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
