Landlord roof survey in Chale
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing onto walls and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Chale?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Andrew's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Common questions in Chale
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Chale?
Often, yes. Chale is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How do I find out if my home in Chale is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
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.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Chale
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Landlord roof surveys around Chale
Chale lies within about 1 mile of the sea, 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, while driving rain finds any gap. Some villages on the Isle of Wight still have thatched roofs, and the whole island is open to sea air and wind. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
With Wolverton Manor about 3.4 miles north-west, the area around Chale has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Chale, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Advice
Why act early in Chale
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a small place like Chale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes 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 with gutters cleared every year.
