Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
How a landlord roof survey works in Chale Green
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. Typical surveys look at chimney stacks in poor repair and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
Somewhere as small as Chale Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Chale Green
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Chale Green, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Thatch survives on some older Isle of Wight buildings, and sea air and wind reach every part of the island. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. James' Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Wolverton Manor lies about 2.5 miles north-west, so building around Chale Green goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Chale Green
Is the coastal weather around Chale Green hard on roofs?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Chale Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Useful tips for Chale Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Deal with urgent items first
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Chale Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Chale Green
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. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. In a small place like Chale Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 20+ years’ experience
- Clear package prices, including VAT

The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Chale Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about parking before the day
