Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bartley
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Older buildings in small places like Bartley may be 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. 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.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bartley
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Bartley, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Ashurst New Forest station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Bartley: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Ashurst New Forest station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Bartley, take more of a battering?
It can do. Bartley is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Bartley?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Bartley?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Bartley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Bartley?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaks into upper flats
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bartley Church of England Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking anyone
- When you will get the report
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will the report include photos?
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
