Landlord roof survey in Broughton, Hampshire
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Broughton, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
How a landlord roof survey works in Broughton
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Older buildings in small places like Broughton may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Broughton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Why us?
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- A written report with photographs

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Broughton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Broughton homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Broughton goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building like Broughton Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
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.
