Landlord roof survey in Buriton
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Buriton and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’ve noticed choked outlets and gutters and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and rented houses alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often 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.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Buriton
Will you come out to Buriton?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Buriton is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
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. For an older or listed building in a place like Buriton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
For a price for your roof in Buriton, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

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.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It’s a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
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 between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Buriton, access is typically the main thing to plan. 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 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 loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Buriton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Buriton has a long history of building, with Uppark about 3 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Anyone responsible for a site like Buriton Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Living close to Ditcham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Buriton is about 2 miles south of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Buriton gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. Buriton is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for landlord roof surveys. You can also see our page for Portsmouth.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Deal with urgent items first
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
