Landlord roof surveys around Catisfield
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Catisfield, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Landlord roof survey in Catisfield
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you are worried about leaking joints at party walls and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks alike.
In a smaller place like Catisfield, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a smaller place like Catisfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Why it’s worth a survey now in Catisfield
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Blocked gutters on homes around Catisfield overflow and soak walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
Why book us in Catisfield
- Plain-English reports with photos

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Catisfield
Is Catisfield within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. 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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Catisfield?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Ranvilles Infant School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the survey will not cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
