Landlord and commercial surveys in Breamore
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
How a landlord roof survey works in Breamore
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. Typical surveys look at gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and worn ridges, hips and verges, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. 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 Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Breamore
Common roof problems in Breamore
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you live in an older home near St Boniface, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- When you’ll get the report
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Breamore questions
Is Breamore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Breamore listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Landlord roof surveys around Breamore
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1 mile north-west lies Breamore House, a reminder of how long the area around Breamore 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.
Anyone responsible for a site like Breamore Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. In a place like Breamore, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Breamore, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will 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.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
