About our landlord roof survey in Brookgreen
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stains in top-floor flats and leaking joints at party walls.
In a village or hamlet like Brookgreen, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Brookgreen
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

Common questions in Brookgreen
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Brookgreen, take more of a battering?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brookgreen?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I book a survey in Brookgreen?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- A full structural assessment of the building
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Brookgreen property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a hamlet or village like Brookgreen, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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 safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Advice
Landlord roof surveys in Brookgreen: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Brookgreen, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Thatch survives on some older Isle of Wight buildings, and nowhere on the island is far from the sea. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Mottistone Manor lies about 0.9 miles north-east, so building around Brookgreen goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. The streets around a church such as St. Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Brookgreen is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We survey roofs in Brookgreen as part of our work across London and South East England. Brookgreen is one of the places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
