Landlord Roof Survey in Blashford
Landlord roof surveys in Blashford from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Blashford, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Landlord roof survey in Blashford
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 contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed leaking joints at party walls and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Blashford
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Blashford goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary and All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Poulner Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover

- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Deal with urgent items first
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Why act early in Blashford
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Outbuildings and barns around Blashford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Blashford
Is my home in Blashford listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Blashford?
Yes. Blashford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email for a price.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
