Landlord roof survey in Branstone: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Branstone and across London and South East England. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Common reasons to book are damp or stains in top-floor flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Branstone 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

Questions from Branstone
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Branstone?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is Branstone within the area you cover?
Yes, Branstone is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I book a survey in Branstone?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. Frequently we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We will confirm what we need as you book.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How long will you be on site?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Landlord roof surveys around Branstone
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Branstone, so there is more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. About 1.2 miles north-west lies Haseley Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Branstone has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Shanklin station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newchurch Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We check the roof, not just the symptoms. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Branstone, a postcode does not 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 will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, 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
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Common roof problems in Branstone
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near All Saints' Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
