About our landlord roof survey in Chandler's Ford
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and gutters overflowing onto walls.
Most homes in a town like Chandler's Ford are houses, so the roof is usually the owner’s to look after. A slipped tile or blocked gutter costs far less to sort than the damp it causes later. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon. Photographs show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you cannot reach yourself.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access

Roof by roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets

Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Chandler's Ford
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. South Stoneham House, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Chandler's Ford. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Landlords with a home close to Chandlers Ford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chandler's Ford Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to St Boniface: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Chandler's Ford
Can a landlord with a rental near Chandlers Ford station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover Chandler's Ford?
Yes, Chandler's Ford is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Chandler's Ford?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Why act early in Chandler's Ford
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 are asking contractors to price. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Chandler's Ford, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- PI and public liability insurance
- Every finding written up with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. A typical visit in Chandler's Ford begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen, so unlocked gates help. The loft comes next, where there is safe access.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- 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.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
