Landlord roof surveys near Bedhampton

Can I check my roof myself?

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.

A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

Landlord roof survey in Bedhampton: what you get

A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, 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’re often asked to look into splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and worn ridges, hips and verges, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.

Trees around homes in smaller places like Bedhampton drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.

It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Landlord roof surveys in Bedhampton: local notes

Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.

If you own a rental within reach of Bedhampton station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Nicholas Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Bedhampton is about 1 mile south-west of Havant, in Hampshire. Bedhampton is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire.

Different roofs, different checks

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions

Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.

Pitched roofs on houses and blocks

Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.

Questions from Bedhampton

Is the coastal weather around Bedhampton hard on roofs?

Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it usually shows, and Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast.

I let a flat near Bedhampton station. Can you check the roof?

Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.

Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?

Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.

Do you work in Bedhampton?

Yes, we do. Bedhampton is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.

Will you go up on the roof?

Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

What we’re asked to look at in Bedhampton

People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years, particularly on taller buildings.

Look out for signs like these:

  • Leaks into upper flats
  • Flashings that have come away
  • Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
  • Slipped or missing slates and tiles

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bidbury Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Before you book any roof surveyor

  • When you’ll get the report
  • Is VAT included in the price?
  • Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
  • Their drone registration, if they fly one

What a good roof survey covers

What happens if roof problems are left?

A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Arranging work in a smaller place like Bedhampton is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

Why book us in Bedhampton

  • Weekday and weekend surveys
  • Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
  • Plain-English reports with photos
  • An independent look at the roof

How it works

Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a smaller place like Bedhampton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.

  1. We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
  2. Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
  3. We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
  4. Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
  5. A written condition report follows to help you plan.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
  • Make sure pets are kept safely away
  • Leave a clear route to the loft
