How a landlord roof survey works in Bursledon
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most frequently book us about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and cracked or lifting flashings.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Bursledon drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
You receive the findings 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.

What happens if roof problems are left?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Homes in smaller places like Bursledon can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- An independent view of the roof
- Surveys seven days a week
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Plain-English reports with photos

Party-wall upstands and parapets

What else we do in Bursledon
Landlord roof surveys in Bursledon: local notes
Bursledon is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Bursledon station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Living close to Westwood Woodland Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Medieval Merchant's House, about 4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bursledon. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
Bursledon is about 2 miles south of Hedge End, in Hampshire. We cover Bursledon and the rest of Hampshire. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages.

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Rented houses

What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Bursledon does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
Bursledon questions
Is the coastal weather around Bursledon hard on roofs?
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.
How do I find out if my home in Bursledon is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is normally set by the lease, and that is a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need as you book.
