Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Burley Street
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Typical surveys look at parapets and upstands in poor repair and flashings that have come away, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Burley Street are 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Burley Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burley Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Burley Street?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I book a survey in Burley Street?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Burley Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you beforehand.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey

Local roofs in Burley Street
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 frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Burley Street. 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.
Take a building like Burley Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
