Do you need a landlord roof survey in Cadnam?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
With Landford Manor about 4.6 miles north-west, the area around Cadnam has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
How a landlord roof survey works in Cadnam
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are chimney stacks in poor repair and leaks into upper flats.
Older buildings in small places like Cadnam may be 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Cadnam can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Cadnam
Cadnam is within about 5 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take a building like Bartley Church of England Junior School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Ashurst New Forest station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Cadnam is about 3 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Cadnam gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photos and a clear written report. Across Hampshire, we cover Cadnam. Southampton is in our area too.

Cadnam questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Ashurst New Forest station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Cadnam?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the roof space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed and get close attention.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Cadnam
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
